Advanced Cleaning Concepts Participates in LEED* Green Building Program
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. LEED is a rating system that provides an industry-wide standard for what constitutes a "green environmentally designed building." LEED is sanctioned by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
LEED was created to:
- Define "green building" by establishing a common standard or measurement
- Promote Integrated, whole building design practices
- Recognize environmental leadership in the building industry
- Stimulate "green" competition
- Raise consumer awareness of "green building" benefits
- Transform the building market
Through a set of scientifically-based performance criteria and a certification point system, design teams and building professionals can earn LEED certification status and in doing so contribute to designing and building a sustainable environment.
Advanced Cleaning grooved end piping system products help designers and building contractors achieve LEED certification in the following ways:
- Sustainable Sites
- Water Efficiency
- Energy & Atmosphere
- Materials & Resources
- Indoor Environment & Quality

percent improvement is not unreasonable. So just in the same
way a company invests in computers and other technology to
improve worker productivity, investing in Green Cleaning can
offer an enormous return on investment. Additional benefits
