What is LEED and How Can Detex Help?

LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, has changed the way we think about how buildings and communities are planned, constructed, maintained and operated. This building certification program is administered by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED’s purpose is to create buildings that are resource efficient, using less energy and water to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

LEED v4 is the newest version of LEED; it is designed to better focus on the materials used in a project, specifically looking at their effects on human health and the environment, as well as their overall performance. This is where Detex fits in. Through several certification processes, Detex’s products are being awarded with EPDs, Sustainability Reports, and HPDs to help our customers reach their LEED certification goals.

In addition to LEED, Detex can help project teams with certifications beyond LEED. Detex products can also contribute to WELL, BREEAM and Living Building Challenge.

CONFLICT MINERALS

To the best of our knowledge, Detex products do not contain Conflict Minerals, as defined by the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform & Consumer Protection Act. Specifically, Conflict Minerals are Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten, and Gold mined in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and in the adjoining countries.  The purpose of the Act was to limit the use of minerals that are believed to be directly or indirectly financing armed groups engaged in civil war resulting in serious social and environmental abuses.
