North Americans spend 90 of their time inside buildings. It is critical to know the characteristics of the ingredients in the materialsproducts surrounding us and how they are affecting us. The where, what, and who of each project changes the emphasis of what we need to know and how we need to protect ourselves and thrive. Using the LEED building rating system can significantly help us achieve better project energy and health outcomes. LEED presents an organized approach to provide materialproduct ingredient transparency and optimization.
