LEED CERTIFICATION
The Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) program is an internationally recognized green building certification system.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators with a concise framework to identify and implement practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
LEED Certification provides third-party verification that a building is designed and constructed according to the following metrics: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Watson Land Company chose to adopt LEED as a framework for its development strategy in 2004. Building 220, in Carson, CA was the first Watson project to achieve LEED certification in 2006, earning a Gold level certification. The company has since added to eight additional LEED certified buildings to its portfolio, including the Watson Land Company Headquarters building, which is designed and constructed to achieve a LEED Platinum level certification.
