LEED® COMPLIANCE
LEED-Compliant Fiberglass Windows and Doors for Sustainable Performance
what's LEED?
LEED® stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It’s the most widely used green building rating system in the world, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). LEED provides a framework for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining buildings that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient.
Projects earn points for meeting specific green building criteria. The higher the point total, the higher the LEED certification level, ranging from Certified to Platinum.
