LEEDCOMPLIANT

LEED is a voluntary certification system for the design, construction and operation of high-performance sustainable buildings; It promotes an integrated design system that covers the whole building. It has been developed by the U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL (USGBC), an association that provides a global approach to sustainability by rewarding virtuous practice in key areas of human and environmental health. The system is based on the award of credits for each aspect of the building’s sustainability. The level of certification achieved depends on the sum of the credits awarded. The Bureau Veritas international certification body guarantees the quantity of pre/post consumer recycled material used in the company’s collections.
