Water Efficiency
The Water Efficiency section addresses

“efficiency first” approach to water
conservation.

Energy & Atmosphere

The Energy and Atmosphere category
approaches energy from a holistic
perspective, addressing energy use
reduction, energy-efficient design
strategies, and renewable energy
sources.

Material & Resources

The Materials and Resources credit
category focuses on minimizing the
embodied energy and other impacts
associated with the extraction,
processing, transport, maintenance,
and disposal of building materials.
