Atria’s LEED-Certified Communities
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – a rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to recognize and certify high-performance green buildings.
It’s the nationally accepted standard for verifying that a building is designed, constructed and operated using strategies that improve performance in six important categories: site sustainability, indoor environmental quality, materials and resources, energy and atmosphere, water efficiency, and innovation and design process.
LEED Certified™ buildings save money and resources and have a positive impact on the health of occupants, while promoting renewable, clean energy.
