Dorn Platz believes in enhancing the environment while developing new buildings. Dorn Platz is an active participant in the LEED movement toward environmental sustainability.

In 1993 the United States Green Building Council developed a system designed to define and measure the sustainability of a building. This system is LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. LEED established a rating system under which a building could measure its sustainability through the following five categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation and Design Process. The LEED system allows developers, designers, architects, engineers, and product manufacturers to earn points under each of the five categories and earn different levels of green building certification.
