LEED® Credit for buildings products
The market for sustainable construction does not apply only to designers but also those who produce building materials. Wood flooring, doors, window frames, insulating, bathrooms, etc. are all products which at design time, must be taken into account by the interior designer and designer, in reference to possible LEED credits can support the final score to be assigned the building.
LEED certification is issued by the building considered as overall construction project. The individual structural components of the building, as well as the choice of location, the political recovery of waste materials etc are all elements that contribute to the achievement of a score higher or lower depending on how many points satisfy the criteria imposed by the standard LEED .
Do you have a LEED compliance request?
The company that wants to win the provision must apply first and foremost a technician with the LEED AP title, obtained after passing an exam that requires the practitioner to be involved in a real project of designing a sustainable building according to LEED standards.
