Alive Technology - LEED for AI
Certifiable, Ethical AI Systems
Just as LEED transformed building standards, we're creating the certification framework for sustainable, low-energy AI. Built on Alive Verified Standards and 23 global sustainability frameworks.
LEED for Buildings → LEED for AI
LEED revolutionized sustainable architecture. Now it's time for AI to have the same rigorous certification framework - combining energy efficiency, ethical governance, and environmental responsibility.
Creating the LEED Standard for AI
Transform AI development with the same rigor that LEED brought to sustainable architecture
Certification Focus
Buildings & Construction
AI Systems & Infrastructure
Energy Standards
Energy-efficient design
Low-power ML models
Sustainability
Green materials & practices
Renewable-powered data centers
Governance
Building codes & compliance
Ethics boards & explainability
The Role of AI in LEED Compliance by 2025
