Loll makes it LEED Platinum

Dec 13 2007, 09:12 AM

From Loll Designs:

Loll pieces have been used recently in a LEED Platinum Certified House. LEED certification, through the U.S. Green Building Council, provides independent, third-party verification that a building project is environmentally responsible 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. The Platinum mark is the highest level of certification for LEED projects.

Live Green, Live Smart took on a large project for 2007: A LEED for Homes Pilot Project in the Minneapolis suburbs, with the goal of surpassing LEED Platinum certification. To see their fantastic results, check out their website: http://livegreenlivesmart.org/shelter/sustainable_house/exterior.aspx
