Trex and LEED Point Contribution

July 18, 2014Kelley Neel

Trex and LEED Point Contribution

Trex products and LEED green buildingDid you know Trex products contribute to LEED points? If you aren’t familiar with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), it is a point-based system for green building standards. The U.S. Green Building Council has designated categories for which products and organizations can contribute points to a “green” project. Trex’s eco-friendly products contribute five points in two categories:

MATERIALS & RESOURCES:

  • Credit 4.1 Recycled Content: 10% 1 point
  • Credit 4.2 Recycled Content: 20% 1 point
  • (Trex products contain 95% recycled-content)
  • Credit 5.1 Regional Materials: 10% 1 point
  • Credit 5.2 Regional Materials: 20% 1 point

INNOVATION IN DESIGN:

  • Credit 1 LEED Innovation Credit 1 point

 

 

Of course, many projects, especially residential, don’t require green building methods or products. However, sustainable and accountable usage of resources matters to us all. Trex is committed to providing materials and manufacturing techniques to meet the needs of a growing economy while doing so responsibly.
