Buildings can qualify for four levels of certification:<p> • Certified - 26 to 32 points <p> • Silver - 33 to 38 points <p> • Gold - 39 to 51 points <p> • Platinum - 52 to 69 points <p> LEED certification is obtained after submitting an application documenting compliance with the requirements of the rating system. Certification is granted solely by the Green Building Council responsible for issuing the LEED system used on the project.<p>
