LEED Requirements
LEED Requirement Information
Please click the TABLE button for a chart showing products supplied by Ampco
that are LEED compliant.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has produced the LEED (Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System. The LEED
Rating System takes into consideration practices relevant to the natural environment,
such as the preference for using sustainable resources, conservation of nonsustainable
resources, and reduction of pollution.
The USGBC has established a system for quantifying the measures taken toward
building a greener building and then rewarding participants by recognizing
their efforts as measured by the LEED system.
Ampco supports the efforts of conservation and green buildings and would like
to provide the specifiers, designers, builders and owners with relevant information
about our products.
The LEED Rating System Version 2.1 sections that are applicable to our product
contributions are under Materials & Resources, Recycled Content (Credit
4) and Local/Regional Materials (Credit 5).
