The LEED scorecard is a tool used by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to measure the sustainability and environmental performance of a building. It evaluates the building's design, construction, and operation across several categories, such as energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and sustainable materials. The LEED scorecard assigns points based on the building's achievements in each category, with higher scores indicating greater sustainability and environmental responsibility. The scorecard is used to determine a building's LEED certification level (Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum) and to encourage continuous improvement in building performance.
