The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is working to improve the quality of life by ensuring that buildings and communities are designed, built and operated in an environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy manner. The USGBC's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System™ (LEED) is the national standard by which green building is judged. Buildings are awarded LEED certification by earning credits for green building performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. LEED certification is a signal of commitment to human and environmental health.
Teragren bamboo flooring, panels and veneer contribute to LEED certification
Teragren bamboo products contribute to certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Rating System in two areas. Bamboo is naturally a rapidly renewable resource, so Teragren products contribute to MR Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials. Teragren products made with non-urea manufacturing adhesives, including Synergy strand, solid-strip bamboo flooring and our bamboo butcher block countertops—also contribute to IEQ Credit 4: Low-Emitting Materials. Most of our products can be made with IEQ-compliant adhesives by special order.* Call Teragren at 800.929.6333 or send us an email for more information.
