LEED Point Contributions

Created by the USGBC, the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program establishes a standard for measurement of green building and sustainability. LEED certification assesses the entire building project, and many Georgia-Pacific building products can contribute to certification points. The use of gypsum and wood panels in building supports sustainable construction.
