The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is an internationally recognized green building certification system. First developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, this system has been adopted by many countries around the world. Residential and commercial contractors know that promoting their project as LEED Certified will shine a positive light on the building, resulting in a higher property value.
When contractors use low or non-VOC paints and adhesives, install laminate flooring instead of carpet, and incorporate an effective air exchange or ventilation system – all requirements in LEED construction and design – families can literally breathe easier.
