LEED :: VICTOR ::



The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a Green Building Rating System developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It provides standards for environmentally sustainable construction. LEED for Commercial Interiors is the recognized standard for certifying high-performance green interiors that are healthy, productive places to work, are less costly to operate and maintain, and reduce the environmental footprint.
				The LEED Rating System Based on a set of required prerequisites and a variety of credits in six major categories: Sustainable sites Water efficiency Energy and atmosphere Materials and resources Indoor environmental quality Innovation and design process More information about the LEED points. >>
LEED certification is obtained after submitting an application documenting compliance with the requirements of the rating system. Buildings can qualify for four levels of certification: Certified - 40-50% of non-innovation points Silver - 50-60% Gold - 60-80% Platinum - over 80%
Now Eco Intelligence® can contribute to additional LEEDS points: One point for Innovation in Design, Eco Intelligence® products are Cradle to Cradle Gold™ certified by MBDC. One point for Low-emitting materials or low VOC's One point for Local/Regional Materials if the fabric was manufactured within a 500-mile radius of your project. So, for example a office chair with our Eco Intelligent® fabric, the 500 mile radius starts from the manufacturing plant of the chair. All of Victor’s recycled fabrics could contribute to LEEDS points for Materials and Resources (Recycled content)
