Vision

LEED-ND will encourage and recognize efforts to revitalize existing urban areas, decrease land consumption, decrease vehicle miles traveled, improve air quality, decrease polluted stormwater runoff, and build communities where people of a variety of income levels can coexist, and where jobs and services are accessible by foot or transit. Integrating green building standards as part of ND will ensure that indoor air quality is healthier, that energy and water consumption decrease, and that the corresponding utility bills of tenants and residents decrease as well. In addition to direct economic and quality-of-life benefits for consumers, the implementation of water and energy efficient technologies will ensure a more efficient use of infrastructure in urban areas, where water, sewer, and electric grid systems are likely to be overtaxed.

Mission

The mission of LEED-ND is to transform land use and development patterns, through certification of developments that lead the industry in terms of meeting smart growth, urbanist, and green building goals.
