LEED

(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)

More and more of our clients are building green. In response, we’ve made it one of our priorities to advise clients about LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Our sales/design consultants frequently help clients make environmentally friendly flooring choices that will help earn them LEED points.

What is LEED?

LEED is a voluntary certification system in which building projects earn points for complying with sustainable standards such as, water efficiency, materials and innovation in design. The more points a project earns, the higher its certification level. Flooring falls into LEED’s Materials and Resources category. A total of 15 points can be earned in this category, which encourages design strategies that reduce and reuse material resources, reduce construction waste, and encourages the selection of building materials that are environmentally friendly.
