LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

USGBC — The United States Green Building Council is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit community of leaders working to make green buildings available to everyone within a generation. The USGBC is run through committees, attracting members to pay a membership fee which helps fund programs. Conklin Office Furniture is a member of the United States Green Building Council.
