Finding Products for LEED v4 and v4.1

Remember 2013? LEED version 4 had just been released to the public. Hardly anyone was using it, though—not only because they didn’t have to, but also because there just wasn’t a pathway to achieve many of the new credits in the rating systems. Especially the product-related credits in the Materials & Resources category, along with the Low-Emitting Materials credit.

How do you get an adequate understanding of these material-related requirements and start selecting products? In this report, we go credit by credit, explaining the basics in both v4 and v4.1, along with some of the details to watch out for. We also explain some of the best ways to search for products that meet the requirements.
