In our role as LEED Consultancy in UAE, LEED is not a performance measuring tool; instead, it is a tool for design. Construction delays may arise from misconceptions between the design team, construction team, and client, resulting from some of LEED's subtleties. Employees in the green building sector, particularly those in the ten biggest U.S. metro regions, are responsible for developing and modifying LEED. Regretfully, the adoption of LEED-certified buildings in small and mid-major markets has been comparatively sluggish. Some critics contend that the LEED certification system lacks sensitivity and doesn't sufficiently consider local environmental factors. Empirical evidence demonstrates that a LEED-certified green building project may be finished for an average of 2 per cent more upfront and, in some instances, even for less than the going rate for construction.
