The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and
implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. LEED Professional Accreditation distinguishes
building professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully steward the LEED certification process. Aside from LEED certification, there are many other reasons to choose a “Green” alternative product in any industry. More
and more companies are recognizing that environmentally responsible design and production are an integral part of their mission
and the value they want to deliver to their customers. Green product testing and implementation sends a clear message:
“We care about improving the health and welfare of people and the planet.” By identifying, certifying, and promoting environmentally responsible products and services, “Green”
certification: ·
Improves the environment by reducing toxic pollution and waste,
conserving resources and habitats, and minimizing global warming and ozone depletion · Increases health and well being, particularly in populations most affected by product choice, such as
as schoolchildren, service staff and the elderly · Demonstrates
to various business segments that environmentally responsible products can improve quality and boost profitability How Can Eco-Protective Products Contribute to LEED Certification? Potential Credits
