Are you aligned with the green systems?

LEED, BREEAM & LBC are just some of the green rating systems that are becoming all the rage in construction. While it's easy to understand why the same can't necessarily be said about understanding how they work and where your products fit it.

  • a run-down of how your products fit into LEED, BREEAM & LBC;
  • extra credits when conversing with green specifiers.

The point of LEED

LEED is a globally recognized assessment system designed to deliver triple-bottom-line returns for people, the planet, and profit. A project is analyzed on 6 categories and awarded points that correlate to a LEED level: Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Certified.

BREEAM deals with stars

Founded in 1989, BREEAM is the long-runner out of the bunch. The system is used worldwide and evaluates projects on ten parameters. The scheme uses certification bodies and licensed assessors to rate and award projects 1-6 stars (6= outstanding).

LBC: a positive challenge

LBC is one of the most rigorous standards for the built environment. Apart from achieving the 7 petals, a building needs to operate 12+ and have a proven positive impact on the places, communities, and people to get fully certified.
