Short Answer

In LEED v4 sustainability rating system, a building may earn a maximum of 110 points.

Water Efficiency (WE); 4. Energy and Atmosphere (EA); 5. Materials and Resources (MR); and 6. Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ). Each category has been assigned points, so that the sum total of points in all six categories is 99.
