Meet LEED and Beyond
The U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. As a member of the USGBC, Dow shares a common goal in transforming the way buildings are designed, built and operated – for a more sustainable future.
LEED addresses all types of buildings and emphasizes strategies in five areas:
1. Sustainable site development
2. Water savings
3. Energy efficiency
4. Materials and resources selection
5. Indoor environmental quality
Incorporating Dow products into commercial and residential building designs can help obtain LEED credits in several categories.
