In Canada, residential, commercial and institutional buildings represent more than a third of total greenhouse gas emissions. One way to combat this is with LEED Certification.
The LEED rating system, known as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system, is a voluntary system for defining what elements make a building green and many industries have already embraced it.The best way to demonstrate that a building is “green” is by achieving LEED certification, such as using LEED insulated concrete forms.“The LEED process guides designers and builders to make technically superior decisions in a manner that is environmentally responsible. By embracing this process, they are showing commitment to their clients, their profession and the world community at large. It allows them to provide the best design solution for both the owner and the environment,” says Vipul Acharya, Durisol Building Systems Inc., a leader in ICF green building materials.
