Which statement best describes LEED Campus?

• A. A certification used for up to four buildings
• B. Certification for a single building only
• C. A program for small homes
• D. Used for multiple buildings on a site under a single entity

Answer: (D)

LEED Campus is about certifying multiple buildings on a single site when they share ownership and a coordinated plan. Instead of treating each building as its own project, LEED Campus assesses the campus as one integrated project boundary, allowing credit decisions to reflect shared strategies across the whole site—such as combined energy and water management, transportation options, and infrastructure. This holistic approach is what makes it suitable for a campus-like setting where several buildings operate under one entity, planning, and governance.

That’s why the statement describing it as used for multiple buildings on a site under a single entity is the best fit. It isn’t limited to a handful of buildings, nor is it for a single building or for small homes, so those options don’t capture the campus approach.
