STYROFOAM Extruded Polystyrene And Dow Polyisocyanurate Insulations, Integrated Insulated Concrete Systems and LEED

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a nonprofit coalition promoting high performance green building design, has developed a system to rate the environmental designs of buildings. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus-based standard that recognizes the life-cycle costing of construction.

The LEED Green Building Rating System allows design professionals to accumulate credits based on meeting certain criteria pertaining to the use of environmentally friendly, sustainable and energy-efficient products and systems.

Incorporating STYROFOAM™ extruded polystyrene and Dow polyisocyanurate insulations into your building designs can help obtain LEED credits in several categories.
