Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high‐performance green homes, including affordable housing, custom designs, and urban apartments and lofts in historic buildings.
With LEED Certification, the Heron enables residents to enjoy an outstanding location, excellent amenities, transportation connectivity and built‐in green features and benefits.
LEED-certified homes are designed to optimize fresh air indoors and minimize exposure to airborne toxins and pollutants.
On average, LEED-certified homes use 20 to 30% less energy and water than a home built to code. Using fewer resources means lower utility bills each month.
LEED-certified homes are third-party inspected performance tested, and certified to perform better than a conventional home.
