GreenScreen Certifications provide incentives for innovation and help advance knowledge of chemicals in products through the value of disclosure, assessment and optimization activities.
In 2013 the U.S. Green Building Council® (USGBC) set a new course for health considerations in buildings by incorporating credits for the disclosure and assessment of chemical hazards in building materials. Since then, GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals has become an increasingly important tool for achieving material credits within LEED.
The GreenScreen Certified® Standard for Building Products can help users streamline the process to gain LEED credits.
As the LEED standard continues to evolve, GreenScreen Certified Standard for Building Products provides:
- A Material Ingredient Inventory to an even lower level than is required by LEED.
- GreenScreen List Translator scores
- GreenScreen Benchmark scores
- Third-party verification to lend credibility to reported information
