Italy Arrives in the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system is the world's most popular. The method of certification is a standard applied in over 100 countries, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Must wait for the official presentation on 14 April 2010, when the theater Sociale di Trento will be explained the Italian version of the protocol of certification of environmental sustainability of buildings. The important step but it was already taken last January 25, when Washington met the LEED Steering Committee (LSC) and approved by USGBC Leed Italy 2009 New Construction - Renovations. The president of Italy Mario Gbc Zoccatelli expressed his satisfaction: "we can give a time of legitimate pride for this result, only the international scene." The path was long: the first steps of Leed Italy they moved in 2008, when the initiative of promoting member Trentino Technology District, with 46 charter members, was formed Gbc Italy. In March 2008 the Committee were set up Leed (entrusted to the Bureau of Maurizio Ratti) and the Scientific Committee, led by Frattari University of Trento, who performed the task of adapting the U.S. protocol to the Italian situation. Therefore, the credit scoring system defined by the Protocol have been recalibrated and weighed to the national reality, a great effort that led to the 2009 edition of the standard Leed Italy.
LEED is a voluntary and consensus-based design, construction and operation of sustainable buildings high-performance, which is developing more and more international, it can be used on any type of building and supporting an integrated planning system that covers the whole building.
