Concrete Helps Achieve LEED Certification.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) is a rating system devised by the
United
States Green Building Council (USGBC) to
evaluate the environmental performance of a
building and encourage market transformation
towards sustainable design. Governments at all
levels are endorsing LEED through mandates, tax
credits or grants. The system is credit-based,
allowing projects to earn points for
environmentally-friendly actions taken during
construction and use of a building. Using
concrete in various applications can help a
project earn from 19-28 LEED® points (see
chart below).
