StonePly lightweight stone panels can contribute to a LEED Certificate. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a program that defines the standards to having a “green” building. LEED is recognized nationaly and was developed to promote use of green products during production. In fact, 26% of all LEED buildings are government owned or occupied.
There are several reasons to go green:
- Several government incentives
- Get recognized by your community as a participant in the LEED program
