LEED certification, for its acronym in English (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), is a system for evaluating and certifying sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings. Como sustainability consultant specialized in LEED systems, I can assure you that this tool is essential to promote sustainable construction around the world.

In Peru, LEED certification has been applied to several construction projects in recent years.
It is one of the most notable buildings and the only place in Peru to obtain LEED Silver certification.
It is an office building that obtained LEED Gold certification.

In addition, it is worth highlighting the Larco mixed building, an avant-garde project. It has 3 different uses: housing, commerce and offices, which in turn is eco-friendly.
