LEED® Certification Information

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has developed the construction industry’s most widely accepted green building certification program. LEED® is a voluntary building certification program that defines high-performance green buildings, which are more environmentally responsible, healthier, and more profitable structures. LEED was created to establish a common standard of measurement for what constitutes a “green” building. LEED serves as a design guideline for green building ideas and offers third party validation of a building’s green features and use of green building materials.

All ResinDek® mezzanine flooring panels can contribute towards LEED 2009 Credit MR 4, and potentially MR 5, depending on the project’s location.

In addition, ResinDek eco-friendly flooring panels can contribute towards LEED 2009 Credit IEQ 4.4, as well as MR 4, and potentially MR 5. All ResinDek panels may also help qualify for Performance-Innovation in Design Credits. Please see Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products, ResinDek LEED 2009 NC v3, and EB v3 Credit & Point Information Table/Matrix (below) for further details.

As a certified “green” building product, ResinDek® can be used in conjunction with any of the LEED rating systems. However, the above mentioned table/matrix indicates how ResinDek panels contribute to compliance with the LEED 2009 NC v3, and EB v3 rating systems.

All ResinDek panels have been certified to contain a minimum of 46% Post-Industrial Recycled Content (dry weight basis). ResinDek panels are also certified to be urea-formaldehyde free. Both certifications are from Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), an independent certification and standards development company for environmental and sustainability claims.
