Benefits of LEED v4*
• Flexibility with strategies to fit the unique aspects of all projects
• Performance based approach to design, operations and maintenance that
calls for measurable results at every stage of a project's life
• A more comprehensive approach to water efficiency by evaluating total
building water use
• Expanded focus on materials — in addition to considering usage of
materials in buildings, LEED v4 integrates a comprehensive approach to
evaluate the impact of materials on human health and the environment
• Streamlined documentation and even greater alignment between rating
systems for a better customer experience
• ARC platform for ease of doing documentation
• Brings worlds best practice under one roof
• Corporate image
