*Note: In reviewing this evaluation, understand that LEED rates projects, not products. LEED credits are earned when a product or a series of products are combined to achieve a specific end result (lower energy use, collective recycled content, etc.). It is rare when a single product can be utilized to earn credit points. The total number of available credits varies in each category. In addition to available credits, each of the categories also contains one or more prerequisites which MUST be met in order for the project to achieve LEED certification. Examples of these prerequisites include minimum energy performance standards, the collection of recyclables, and requirements for smoke control within the building.
