LEED and Sustainable Design
Anyone who has toiled their day in a windowless office or classroom can attest to the power of sunlight, outside views and natural ventilation. As the national bellwether of sustainable architectural practices, the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED® Green Building Rating System™ encourages and recognizes these benefits. Additionally, the organization credits thoughtful, whole-building design approaches that allow window systems to aid in facilities' energy management.
