A table shows that the L E E D, W E L L, and B R E E A M categories align with Sustainable Development Goals (S D Gs) using dot markers.The table is labeled with column headers arranged from left to right as “System and Categories”, “S D G 3”, “S D G 6”, “S D G 7”, “S D G 9”, “S D G 11”, “S D G 12”, “S D G 13”, “S D G 15”, and “S D G 17” across the top. The table is split into three horizontal sections labeled “L E E D”, “W E L L”, and “B R E E A M”, with black dots marking where each certification category aligns with each S D G. Under “L E E D”, the rows list “Integrative Process”, “Location and Transportation”, “Sustainable Sites”, “Water Efficiency”, “Energy and Atmosphere”, “Materials and Resources”, “Indoor Environmental Quality”, “Innovation”, and “Regional Priority”. The Integrative Process category shows alignment with S D G 17. Location and Transportation aligns with S D G 11 and S D G 13. Sustainable Sites aligns with S D G 11 and S D G 15. Water Efficiency aligns with S D G 12. Energy and Atmosphere aligns with S D G 7 and S D G 13. Materials and Resources aligns with S D G 12. Indoor Environmental Quality aligns with S D G 3. Innovation aligns with S D G 9. Regional Priority aligns with S D G 11, S D G 13, and S D G 15. In the “W E L L” block, the left column lists “Air”, “Water”, “Nourishment”, “Light”, “Movement”, “Thermal Comfort”, “Sound”, “Materials”, “Mind”, “Community”, and “Innovation”. The Air category aligns with S D G 3 and S D G 13. Water aligns with S D G 3 and S D G 6. Nourishment aligns with S D G 3. Light aligns with S D G 3 and S D G 12. Movement aligns with S D G 3. Thermal Comfort aligns with S D G 3. Sound aligns with S D G 3. Materials align with S D G 3 and S D G 13. Mind aligns with S D G 3 and S D G 15. Community aligns with S D G 3 and S D G 17. Innovation aligns with S D G 9. In the “B R E E A M” block at the bottom, categories listed at the left are “Energy”, “Health and Well being”, “Land Use and Ecology”, “Materials”, “Management”, “Pollution”, “Transport”, “Waste”, and “Water”. The Energy category aligns with S D G 7, S D G 12, and S D G 13. Health and Well-being aligns with S D G 3. Land Use and Ecology aligns with S D G 15. Materials align with S D G 12. Management aligns with S D G 9, S D G 12, and S D G 17. Pollution aligns with S D G 3. Transport aligns with S D G 11 and S D G 13. Waste aligns with S D G 12. Water aligns with S D G 12.
