The USGBC is concerned with educating the public about green building, and with creating a standard for measuring a building's greenness.

<br />LEED</span>
<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">In 1995, the USGBC began to develop the LEED rating system as a response to the need for defining what a green building is, and as a means for design teams to determine sustainable design goals, determine strategies for meeting those goals, and to track progress and success against those goals. So it offers a definition of successful resource and energy efficient design, as well as pushing designers to raise the bar on their own work. <o:p></o:p></span>
