US Green Building Council

U.S. Green Building Council (LEED Program)

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a leading third party consensus for producing a new generation of buildings that deliver high performance inside and out, while minimizing environmental impact. The USGBC developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program to provide a complete framework for assessing building performance and meeting sustainability goals. Based on well-founded scientific standards, LEED emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, material selection and indoor environmental quality. NCL is a proud and active member of the USGBC.

LEED was created to:

Define "green building" by establishing a common standard of measurement
Promote integrated, whole-building design practices
Recognize environmental leadership in the building industry
Stimulate green competition
Raise consumer awareness of green building benefits
Transform the building market
NCL products can help you in obtaining points toward an LEED certification.
