Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design was created to accomplish several goals related to energy efficiency and environmental soundness in the building industry. It is meant to establish a common standard of measurement for “green building,” promote whole-building design practices, recognize environmental leadership in the building industry, stimulate green competition, raise consumer awareness of green building benefits, and ultimately transform the building market. The Green Building Council members created the LEED rating system to determine whether environmentally safe practices were being utilized in new construction, and it addresses six major areas:
In relation to recycled office furniture, the applicable areas of the LEED rating system are materials and resources, along with innovation and design process. Materials and resources have to do with the use and reuse of the building, construction waste, existing materials, recycled content, local materials, rapidly renewable materials, and certified wood, as well as the storage and collection of recyclables. The innovation and design process is a more subjective measurement that recognizes outstanding achievement in design techniques, such as the use of lightweight renewable materials or the potential for disassembly.
The wonderful thing about using recycled materials is the considerable cost savings compared to the design and construction of new office furniture. With the materials already available, all that is needed is a talented designer who can bring their vision to life with sturdy, durable recycled office furniture that will serve you and your office for years to come.
