In order to correctly frame the results of a comparative evaluation
of occupant satisfaction in LEED and non-LEED certified
buildings, it should first of all be considered that the USGBC and the
LEED rating tool are relatively new to the construction industry, and
that the program is currently being characterized by significant
investment to further advance the promotion of sustainability in
buildings, and the comfort and well-being of its users. Studies such
as that presented in this paper have therefore to be considered as
an attempt to contribute to improve the standards achieved in
buildings certified by the LEED system
