Digital Lighting Control and LEED

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a nationally accepted benchmark program for the design, construction and operation of high performance buildings. This voluntary certification system is run by the U.S. Green Building Council, and it offers a variety of programs, including four that are applicable to commercial buildings:

  • LEED for New Construction and Major Renovations

  • LEED for Existing Buildings

  • LEED for Commercial Interiors

  • LEED for Core and Shell

Each program offers four levels of certification, including basic LEED certification, LEED Silver Certification, LEED Gold Certification and LEED Platinum Certification. Certification is achieved by earning points for meeting green building standards for site sustainability, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation. The following tables show how digital lighting control from Starfield can help contribute to LEED certification.
