Working on a LEED certification project?
Transportation within a 500 mile radius of our manufacturing facility to the location of installation can contribute to Rc5 - Regional Materials Credits, 1 to 2 points possible.
Credit Intent
Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts resulting from transportation. |
