Our Green Practices
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 a building is designed, constructed and operated to improved performance across nine key areas: integrative process, location and transportation, sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation, and regional priority.
LEED Certified™ buildings save money and resources and have a positive impact on the health of occupants, while promoting renewable, clean energy.
