LEED levels at a glance
A project earns points across categories such as location and transport, sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. The total score determines the level:
| Level | Points (LEED v4) | What it means for tenants |
|---|---|---|
| Certified | 40 – 49 | Meets the basic green building requirements |
| Silver | 50 – 59 | Good energy and water efficiency compared with conventional buildings |
| Gold | 60 – 79 | The most common level for Grade A offices targeting multinational tenants |
| Platinum | 80+ | The highest level, usually for flagship projects |
Why tenants choose LEED buildings
- Lower operating costs: efficient air-conditioning, lighting and water systems help reduce electricity and water bills, especially for long leases.
- Better working environment: fresh-air supply, air filtration and natural light support staff health and productivity.
- ESG reporting: a LEED building helps companies meet group sustainability targets and report Scope 2 emissions more easily.
- Employer brand: a green office supports recruitment and corporate image, especially for international firms.

Tips when leasing a LEED building
- Ask the landlord for the certificate level (Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum), the rating version and the year awarded.
- Check whether the certificate covers the whole building (Core and Shell or Building Operations) or only part of it; this affects your own reporting.
- If your group requires LEED for the interior too, plan a LEED ID+C fit-out from the design stage.
- Ask for actual energy data (kWh/m²/year) to estimate operating costs, not just the certificate.
