LEED

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program was created to provide a national standard for environmental construction in the building industry. When a building earns LEED points through environmental construction like a green roof, many states will reward the facility with tax credits and other financial incentives.

A TectaGreen roof can contribute up to 7 LEED points based on the USGBC rating system:

• Sustainable Sites
  Storm water Design: Quality Control – SS Credit 6.1 (1 pt.)
