LEED Certified & Green Building
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, commonly known as LEED®, has become the standard for green building ratings in the United States. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council in 1998, there have been more than 14,000 LEED® projects throughout the United States and in over 30 countries. Each of these projects must go through a rigorous, seven-category certification process.

In order to make these 14,000 LEED® projects a success and meet the necessary standards for certification, it takes skilled craftsmen. The Oregon Building & Construction Trades Council and our 21 member trades have worked with energy efficient building practices for more than 100 years, long before LEED® ratings were created.
Whether your goal is to reach LEED® Gold certification or simply to achieve increased energy efficiency, our skilled men and women have the training and experience that will ensure your project is a success. Whether maximizing water and energy efficiency, selecting renewable materials or meeting and surpassing environmental quality standards, our skilled craftsmen and women have what it takes to take your project to the next level.
