2024 Overview of LEED & WELL

MCA - Omaha

Would you like a short summary on LEED & WELL and how it is changing the built environment? LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and is a globally recognized building certification system. LEED evaluates built environments based on several criteria, including energy efficiency, water savings, indoor environmental quality, and sustainability. The WELL building standard was developed by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) and focuses on human health within the built environment. WELL certification addresses aspects such as indoor air quality, access to natural light and ergonomic design. This webinar will provide you with an introduction to both and highlight some of the major differences between the two.
