Building development is often destructive to local ecological systems from the onset of construction activity, through occupancy and beyond.

LEED Sustainable Sites credits encourage best practice measures through strategies such as alternative transportation, effective site lighting design, development of high-density and brownfield sites, and stormwater management.

Not all credits have EDR-related webpages. Only credits with applicable EDR references show active links.
