LEED

USGBC Logo "Green living" has become a household term and people are becoming more environmentally conscious as time goes by. Many developers are looking for a solution to build green and support the green movement. But what classifies a project as being "green?" The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) has put a rating system in place to qualify projects. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The LEED rating system distributes points for specific eco-friendly aspects of the project. When using Ecolite, the following LEED points can be generated:

  • EAp2: Minimum Energy Performance
  • EAc1: Optimize Energy Performance
  • MRc2.1 & 2.2: Construction Waste Management-Divert % of waste from disposal
  • MRc4.1 & 4.1: Recycled Content-Use % of recycled materials in building (post-consumer + pre-consumer)
  • MRc5.1 & 5.2: Regional Materials: Use % of extracted, processed, and manufactured locally materials with 500 miles of project site
  • EQc7.1: Thermal Comfort: Design building envelope to meet requirements of ASHRAE 55-2004 which provide thermal comfort for building occupants
  • IDc1.1-1.4: Innovation in Design: Reduce Cement Content with use of recycled and/ or rapidly renewable aggregates and admixtures
