LEED®
LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a third-party certification program for the design, construction, and operation of buildings and other projects aiming to acheive a high-performance green rating. Administered by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED’s Green Building Rating System®assigns points based on the materials and systems used in a project to help evaluate the overall performance. The number of points earned determines a project’s level of LEED certification.
LEED promotes sustainability by assigning points in five areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Mutual Materials’ products may help contribute to some of these areas.
