Whenever there is a challenge, there is also an opportunity
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. It works for all buildings at all phases of development, from new construction to existing buildings, and all building sectors, from homes to hospitals to corporate headquarters. LEED provides a point system to score green building design and construction. The system is categorized in nine basic areas: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Location and Transportation, Integrative Process, Innovation and Design, and Regional Priority. Buildings are awarded points based on the extent various sustainable strategies are achieved. The more points awarded the higher the level of certification achieved from Certified, Silver, Gold, to Platinum.
Our products can potentially help a building earn points in 3 out of 9 categories: Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality and Regional Priority.
