LEED the Way
Building Science
LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. LEED certified buildings save money and resources and have a positive impact on the health of occupants, while promoting renewable, clean energy. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. As a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council, BMC offers products and materials that contribute toward LEED points and prerequisites.
The Writing is on the Non-Load-Bearing Wall
Demand for greener products in home building and remodeling continues to increase as builders and homeowners strive to reduce their climate impact.
Environment
Green initiatives will reduce waste, conserve natural resources, improve water and air quality, and protect ecosystems.
Savings
Green materials and practices reduce energy consumption, which in turn, reduce energy bills.
Health
The average American spends 90% of their time indoors. Sustainable design enhances air and water quality, providing health benefits to occupants.
