by AF0505 c3 — May 10, 2010—Continuing its commitment to sustainable construction, Georgia-Pacific Gypsum has announced the availability of a new online LEED Calculator which it says simplifies the process for determining its products’ potential contribution to a LEED credit.
Designed for use by architects, specifiers, contractors, suppliers, and corporate users, the LEED Calculator is available 24/7 at the company’s Web site.
Georgia-Pacific Gypsum’s online LEED Calculator provides easy and immediate access to information about a product’s potential LEED credit contribution. This includes specific data regarding recycled content and regional materials.
LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which provides building owners and operators a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions, according to the USGBC.
Georgia-Pacific Gypsum’s LEED calculator provides instant access to LEED credit contribution information with the input of just a few pieces of information. Construction professionals type in the project name, zip code and their Georgia-Pacific Gypsum product choice(s), and the calculator provides a readymade report and printable letter outlining the products’ relevant LEED credit documentation. Categories of information include recycled content and regional material availability.
