Which LEED program is used for multiple buildings on a site under the control of a single entity?

• A. LEED Volume
• B. LEED BD+C
• C. LEED Campus
• D. LEED-CS

Answer: (C)

Campus certification is designed for settings where several buildings sit on one site and are owned or controlled by a single organization. It creates a campus boundary that encompasses all the structures, open space, and shared infrastructure, so sustainability performance can be evaluated and credited for the entire campus as well as for individual buildings. This enables efficiencies from centralized systems (like a central plant or shared water and energy networks) and aligns site-wide strategies such as energy, water, and materials across the whole campus, while still allowing each building to earn its own credits where appropriate. The other options focus on single buildings, cores, or standardized sets of many similar buildings, rather than a unified, multi-building campus under one owner.
