LEED Rating system

The LEED rating is based on a 100-point system that weighs each component of question number two to the environmental impact it may have.  For example, Energy and Atmosphere make up 37% of the total due to the large effect it has on the total “green” building.  There are ten bonus points available which come from the components of Innovation and Regional priority.  A score of 40-49 gets ‘Certified’ status.  A score of 50-59 gets ‘Silver’ status.  A score of 60-79 gets ‘Gold’ status.  A score of 80 or more obtains the ‘Platinum’ status.
