Leed® -- Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is the nation’s foremost
coalition of leaders from every sector of the building industry working
to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable
and healthy places to live and work.
They have developed the LEED® Green Building Rating
System™ developed the as nationally accepted benchmark for building and
construction, design and function of environmentally friendly green
buildings. The System demonstrates the established standards for a
number of different building categories.

System, Project LEED® Certification and other resources from the USGBC.
F.W. Honerkamp Co. supports this initiative and has
brought into stock a number of products supporting
Green building practices which can contribute points to the USGBC
LEED® Green Building Rating System. Many projects are being awarded
based on how well a builder or fabricator can meet these standards, and
in many cases tax incentives are available from the
government for meeting and exceeding these guidelines and ratings.
Honerkamp has staff on-premises certified in LEED®
who can advise you on the LEED® system and how we can best help you meet
your material requirements efficiently and cost-effectively. Call our
