LEED Credits – Earning Your LEED Certification
Purchasing sustainable products that are LEED Certified can net your facility LEED Credits, a way of calculating how your buildings save energy and reduce excess waste. Manufacturers on contract can provide LEED certified products that can include a variety of categories for environmental protection.
Through buying LEED products, facilities can earn 1 of 4 LEED certifications from certified (40 – 49 points) to Platinum (80 – 110 points). Not all facilities have to follow the same rating system, as the type and size of the facility is heavily factored into its sustainability.
Since flooring is an important part of any building, using products that are LEED Certified is a great way to net credits for your renovations.
