LEED Certification: What is it and How Audimute can Help?
- Mar 2, 2017
LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is transforming the way we think about how our buildings and communities are designed, constructed, maintained and operated across the globe. LEED is a comprehensive and flexible tool used to analyze a project’s sustainable qualities and rate them on a scale.
In order to obtain your LEED certificate, you have to satisfy a certain number of prerequisites to earn points. The number of points a project earns will determine the level of LEED certification.
Sometimes knowing what products to choose to help you obtain your LEED certification can be a difficult decision to make. Here are three ways in which Audimute products can help you gain points towards your LEED certification.
Materials and Resource Credits- Audimute eco-C-tex™ products are made from recycled content. All fabrics used on our products are pre and post consumer recycled textiles. Also, our Peacemaker™ product is made from recycled tires.
Regional Material- Audimute products are made in Beachwood, Ohio. So, if your project is located within a 500 mile radius of Audimute, you can gain 1 point towards your LEED certification.
Low Emitting Materials – Audimute products contain little to no adhesives and do not give off V.O.C.’s (Volatile Organic Compound).
