LEED

STAY IN THE LEAD… WITH LEED 

The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System ® is a voluntary, consensus-based, national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable “green” buildings. Members of the U.S. Green Building Council, representing all segments of the building industry, developed LEED and continue to contribute to its evolution.

USGBCMore and more building owners and architects are looking to build to the LEED Standard. The benefits include:

  • Reduction of owner’s energy cost;
  • Qualification for New York State Tax Credits ;
  • Improvement of work environment and air quality;

A project becomes viable LEED certification by meeting all prerequisites and achieving a minimum number of points.

Taylor can provide timely and accurate LEED reporting, required for certification, for material brought to our facility, as requested by the customer. We can also assist in the development of your waste management plan and help you in the identification of at least five different waste streams.

Finally, utilizing Taylor Montgomery will earn your project one point for recycling at least 50% (by weight) of your construction & demolition debris.

Contact our sales department for more information on LEED projects and reporting.
