| Home Depot Creates Products List for LEED We're in a $17 billion market for new green homes, so it makes sense that the USGBC and Home Depot would team up to make green building products more accessible. com/> – presently listing more than 2,500 products that contribute towards LEED for Homes certification. Today, the USGBC and Home Depot announced a whole new database – available through LEEDHomeDepot. All of the products on the database are sold by Home Depot and include insulation, windows, fixtures, appliances, sealants, countertops, doors, flooring, etc. Yet one small thing to keep in mind is the fact that LEED for Homes needs a lot more than simply racking up green products that might contribute toward 45 (Certified), 60 (Silver), 75 (Gold), or 90 (Platinum) points. Lindsay Chason, senior manager of Environmental Innovation at The Home Depot, said: "we wish to show our customers that building green can be easy and affordable … we have innovative, environmentally-friendly products that make LEED certification simpler," according to a statement. |
