Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)

Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, the (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ provides a third-party certification program for sustainable building. It is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.

• LEED has established a point system by which building design and construction can be rated to establish “best” practices.
• Fireplaces appear in the LEED system under the category of Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ).
• Fireplaces that conform to the requirements of this category are considered to be contributing to the overall “green” rating of the home.
• Fireplaces are mentioned in section EQ 2–Combustion Venting.
• This section awards a maximum of two points to the builder of the home towards an overall rating for meeting the requirements of this section.
• The intent of this section is to “minimize the leakage of combustion gases into the occupied space of the home.”
