What is LEED®?
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green
Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of
sustainable green building and development practices through the
creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted
tools and performance criteria.
LEED is a third party certification program and the nationally
accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high
performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators
the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their
buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to
sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human
and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings,
energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

 Requirements
Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer
recycled content plus one-half of the pre-consumer content constitutes
at least 10% (MR Credit 4.2 – 20%) (based on cost) of the total value
of the materials in the project.
The recycled content value of a material assembly shall be determined
by weight. The recycled fraction of the assembly is then multiplied by
the cost of assembly to determine the recycled content value.
