LEED® CERTIFICATION
LEED® CREDITS FOR RESINDEK PANELS
LEED is the most widely used and well recognized green building rating system around the world. It signifies a certification that improves the carbon footprint and indoor environmental quality. Qualifying for the USGBC's LEED® certification can be a complex process, one that involves extremely detailed standards and guidelines that involve mathematical calculations and detailed documentation. The final rating of a building is determined by a weighted sum of credits achieved through five major areas: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
ResinDek flooring panels can contribute toward LEED® projects. The table below provides an overview of the LEED categories that can be achieved with ResinDek floors.
