What is Green Building and how does it relate to LEED Certification

● Not all Green buildings are LEED Certified, but all LEED Certified buildings are Green

NEW YORK BANKERS ASSOCIATION Pennsylvania Credit Union Association

● A Green building, also known as a sustainable building, is a structure that is designed, built, renovated, operated or reused in an ecological and resource-efficient manner.

● Green buildings are designed to meet certain objectives such as protecting occupant health; improving employee

productivity; using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently; and reducing the overall impact to the environment.

● LEED, a third-party certification program, is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.

What is Green Building and how does it relate to LEED Certification

● LEED for New Construction– New construction from the ground up for branches and operations centers
