What is LEED?

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used green building certification system in the world. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, it provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is not just about reducing environmental impact—it’s about creating long-term value for people, communities, and the planet.

The Story Behind the Certification

Behind Avna’s LEED certification is a story of collaboration and shared purpose. Two companies —Avna and SPHERA Sostenible— came together around a common vision: sustainability and dedication to people. 

It was a journey filled with both challenges and opportunities. Through the commitment and hard work of an entire team aligned with Avna’s goals, the vision of achieving LEED certification— once seen as a distant milestone— became a reality.

Avna’s Sustainable Achievements

Through innovative design, Avna integrates sustainability into every corner of the building:

  • Water savings of up to 50% through the use of efficient fixtures and systems.

  • 18% energy savings thanks to advanced design strategies in air conditioning, ventilation, and lighting.

  • Focus on wellness and indoor environmental quality, ensuring healthier, brighter, and more comfortable spaces for occupants.

These results demonstrate that sustainability and performance go hand in hand, benefiting both the environment and those who experience Avna every day.

Why this matter

For SPHERA Sustainability, this milestone underscores our mission: to empower organizations in building a more sustainable future. For Avna, it highlights the value of investing in people, planet, and prosperity. Together, we celebrate not just a certification, but a commitment for a better tomorrow.
