Yes, it can. LEED is a Green Building rating system. It is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. Buying renewable energy can provide your building with a LEED “credit” helping to achieve the LEED green building standard. Projects are awarded Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum certification depending on the number of credits they achieve. More information about LEED is available by clicking here.
