Certification Presentation

Understanding LEED® O+M

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a globally recognized green building certification program established by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). The O+M rating system evaluates the operations and maintenance of existing buildings, focusing on enhancing sustainability through improved management practices and minor renovations.

One of the unique advantages of LEED O+M v4.1 is its utilization of Arc, a web-based platform that simplifies the scoring of existing building performance. Arc supports data collection, management, and benchmarking regarding environmental performance across various facilities. As of July 2025, Arc has been employed in over 47,000 projects worldwide, with more than 3,500 of these in Japan alone.
