Leed building certification (leadership energy and environmental design) Sustainable sites: not on the coast, eroding river: pick the place with the least negative impact. Water efficiency: can include faucets, low flow toilets. Nrg and atmosphere: how is nrg generated for the building. Not just recycling: what makes the building: materials. Transportation: if located near a public transportation site, points (train station) if you provide the ability for people to bike to work, trails, showers when they get to work. Within each category long checklist, accumulate points to be certified.
