LEED CertificationLEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a voluntary and recognized certification program created by the US Green Building Council's Green Building Rating System. This third party certification is nationally accepted and promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability. It not only recognizes cool and vegetated roofs, but the building envelops impact on energy efficiency. Five key performance areas are recognized for certification:
In addition to certification, LEED provides buildings owners and managers with tools to create an impact on their building's sustainable performance including green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. LEED offers different rating systems to encompass different projects and developments. Selecting the right roofing product is one of the easiest ways to generate LEED points. Simon Roofing's Sustainable Systems & EnviroGreen roofing products are LEED compliant in all rating systems.
