What is the point range for LEED Gold level?

• A. 40-49 points.
• B. 50-59 points.
• C. 60-79 points.
• D. 80+ points.

Answer: (C)

LEED uses a tiered point system, and Gold sits as the third level in that progression. It is higher than the Silver level but lower than Platinum, so the Gold range is defined by earning more points than the Silver cutoff and fewer than the Platinum cutoff. This reflects a substantial, well-integrated set of sustainability strategies across multiple categories—energy, water, materials, indoor environmental quality, location and transportation, and more. In practice, aiming for Gold means pursuing a broad package of credits and optimizing performance across several areas, without reaching the topmost Platinum level.
