Hadi asks: How can we certify our manufactured products for LEED?

The USGBC's LEED green building rating system offers processes for evaluating many different types of buildings from new construction (NC) to existing buildings (EB). However, the system does not rate manufactured green building materials or products.

Your products, depending on what they are, what they are comprised of and if/where they fit within the six (6) LEED categories, may be used by commercial real estate owners or investors to earn "credits" towards LEED certification.

For instance, if your company made denim insulation that was 100% pre-consumer recycled denim and other cotton-fiber/textile that was also 100% recyclable at the end of its useful life, then it would be safe to say that use of your product by a LEED certifiable building would most likely qualify the developer/owner to receive Materials & Resources (MR Credit 4: Recycled Content).
