Benefits of a
LEED-certified home:
Environmental—reduced greenhouse gas emissions sustainable building materials, and efficient use of land, water, and alternative energy
Health — safe interiors with cleaner filtered air and less exposure to mold, mildew, and indoor toxins
Economic—zero heating and cooling bills, lower energy and water bills, and may be eligible for lower financing fees and insurance rates.
SpringLeaf’s homes, designed by George Watt Architecture, have been registeredfor LEED-Platinum, the highest certification level in the U.S. Green Building
Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system.
LEED certification is an independent third-party process that provides benchmarks
for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings.
All LEED homes are third-party inspected, performance tested, and certified to be
higher-performing than conventional homes.
LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing
performance in key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site
development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor
environmental quality. LEED-Platinum buildings represent the highest quality
and energy efficiency, and far exceed Boulder’s Green Points standard for
construction.
