Answer 1

The answer is: construction costs much less than for conventional buildings

Step-by-step explanation:

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), is an international certification program that focuses on new "green" commercial buildings projects and is based upon a points system. It rates buildings on energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, etc.

So the more points you earn, the greener your buildings is.
