LEED

Poligon products can assist your project with LEED certification.

What is LEED?

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a national standard developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to certify sustainable buildings. LEED buildings can help save energy, conserve resources, protect occupant health, and improve owners’ bottom lines. LEED utilizes a system of points awarded in multiple environmental categories for achieving specific levels of sustainable performance.
