REGISTERING A PROJECT

After determining that LEED is right for a project, the next step is to register the project. Registration serves as a declaration of intent to certify a building or neighborhood development under the LEED Green Building Rating Systems. Registration provides access to a variety of tools and resources necessary to apply for LEED certification. Registered and certified projects are also listed in the online LEED project database.

Once the rating system has been determined and the appropriate registration fee has been paid, the project will be immediately accessible in LEED Online. From here the project team is assembled and the documentation process begins.

Projects outside the U.S.

Projects outside the U.S. can register and pursue certification under LEED-ND, but are required to provide feedback to determine if the rating system encourages regionally and culturally appropriate planning and design decisions outside of the U.S. View more information

Canadian Projects Only

Prospective LEED-ND Projects in Canada are strongly encouraged to visit the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) for information on Canadian Alternative Compliance Paths (ACPs) for the LEED 2009 ND rating system. The CaGBC developed these ACPs to provide clarity and guidance for Canadian projects, addressing sections of the rating system that contain US-specific standards or wording.
