Receive the certification decision

Certification is the final step in the LEED review process

Once the final application review is complete, the project team can either accept or appeal the final decision.

LEED-certified projects receive a formal certificate of recognition, along with Information about ordering LEED plaques and certificates, public relations guidelines for project promotion, and information about submitting project photography. LEED-certified projects can opt-in to be included in the LEED Project Directory of registered and certified projects.
