The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ provides a framework for sustainable green building and development practices. LEED is a third-party certification programme for the design, construction and operation of environmentally efficient buildings.1 How does it work? A project (new construction, renovation, commercial interiors, etc) can obtain LEED certification by achieving points in five key areas: • standard sustainable site development • water savings • energy efficiency • materials selection • indoor environmental quality A maximum of 69 points can be awarded. Point ratings can range from “certified” (26 pts) – all the way up to “platinum” (52+ pts). Milliken and LEED Milliken is a founding member of the Unites States Green Building Council (USGBC) – the organisation that developed and operates the LEED certification standards. We are proud supporter of this organisation and also the World Green Build Council (WGCB) a non-profit making organisation focusing on sustainability. Our goals are aligned with USGBC and WGCB – we create carpet products designed to minimise their impact on the environment by focussing on product composition, manufacturing processes and reclaim/renewal options. Milliken Contract carpet products can contribute the maximum number of LEED points for carpet applications. Maximise the points for your project Milliken Contract can help you achieve points in three key categories: Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality and LEED Innovation Credits. 1All USGBC and LEED information provided from USGBC, USGBC website and current LEED rating documentation Information and LEED requirements are subject to change.
