What kind of certification does a building need to be considered green?
A rating system, known as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), is a voluntary system for defining what elements make a building green. Originally developed in United Sates by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), many industries have already embraced it.“Building Green is not a new thing it is the right thing, and we always strive to use the most environmentally neutral building practices and materials. However, construction debris is always an issue, by ordering what we need and using it when we need it, it has helped us to divert as much as possible from the local landfill. There are tradeoffs which we all must take, however protection of our future and wise stewardship of our planet must be one of our utmost priorities.” says Justin Linden, President of ServiceBlocks Inc, specializing in home improvements in Ottawa, Canada.
