LEED Building Information

As a result of a 2006 evaluation by GSA of sustainable building rating systems, the Administrator concluded that Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) remains the most credible rating system available to meet GSA’s needs. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) requires GSA to re-evaluate the rating systems every five years.

GSA has therefore continued to evaluate building designs and all newly owned construction, major renovations and build-to-suit leasing require a LEED® silver rating or higher. GSA presents these LEED® case studies to inspire the people who work for and with GSA to improve current practices and to encourage continuing innovations that create and maintain sustainable work environments.
