What does LEED stand for in sustainability practices?

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
Leveraging Energy Efficiency in Design
Leading Environmental Engineering Directions
Light Emission and Energy Distribution

The correct answer is: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. This certification program was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to promote sustainable building practices. LEED rating systems evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage a market transformation towards sustainable design. It addresses several areas including energy efficiency, water usage, indoor environmental quality, material selection, and sustainable site development. The other options do not accurately represent the established meaning of LEED within the context of sustainability. Focusing on energy and environmental design as a leadership standard, LEED signifies a commitment to building practices that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life cycle.
