LEED is a design tool and as such has focused on energy modeling, rather than being a performance-measurement tool that measures actual energy consumption. [9] [11] [12] LEED uses modeling software to predict future energy use based on intended use. Buildings certified under LEED do not have to prove energy or water efficiency in practice to ...
Nearly 1.9 million Energy Star certified homes and apartments have been certified to date. [35] These high-performing homes can be found across the U.S. and include a complete thermal enclosure system, a high-efficiency heating, ventilation and cooling system, a comprehensive water management system, and energy-efficient lighting and appliances ...

[9] In 2024, researchers used a statistical matching approach to compare occupant satisfaction from 3,268 surveys from 20 WELL-certified and 49 LEED-certified buildings. [10] Overall building and workplace satisfaction was found to be high in WELL-certified buildings (94% and 87%). [10]
The Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) category in LEED standards, one of the five environmental categories, was created to provide comfort, well-being, and productivity of occupants. The LEED IEQ category addresses design and construction guidelines especially: indoor air quality (IAQ), thermal quality, and lighting quality. [46] [47] [48]
The origins of many fundamental concepts of LEAN and LEAN construction date back in time. 1. The origins of foundational LEAN concepts can be traced back to the 1450s in Venice, but the concept is often associated with Henry Ford and Toyota in the 20th century. LEAN was first applied in “modern day” production management by He
Buildings in the United States contribute 38.9% of the nation's total carbon dioxide emissions, including 20.8% from the residential sector and 18.0% from the commercial sector (2008). [8] On average, the energy use for typical buildings is assumed to consist of 67% electricity and 33% natural gas. [9]
