by Rebecca Walker — February 22, 2010—BlueLinx Corporation (“BlueLinx”), a North American distributor of building products, has introduced a free Web-based resource for architects, specifiers, LEED APs, project managers, builders, and retailers, called PureBlue.
PureBlue, BlueLinx’ ecoproduct offering, worked with its vendors to identify more than 200 building products that may contribute to over 600 LEED possible points across various topic categories, according to the company.
The Gold level certification within the 2009 edition of LEED for New Construction, Core & Shell, and Schools requires 60-79 points. The PureBlue listing offers an excellent starting point for selecting building products that assists them on their path to structure certification.
A listing of BlueLinx products that may be eligible for LEED Credits in certain building applications is available online. For more information, see the BlueLinx Web site.
