LEED Information

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has developed the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System. This system provides a definitive national standard for what constitutes a “green building.”

No product or building material may be accurately classified as “LEED certified.” The LEED rating system was designed to classify entire building projects. Building materials may provide “points” toward the LEED status of your project.

Total Doors may provide points for your LEED project in the following categories according to LEED version 2.2.

• Credit 4.1 & 4.2 – Recycled Content

  80% post industrial content in our steel. Average weight = 100 lbs.

• Credit 5.1 – Locally Manufactured

  Manufactured in Waterford, Michigan.

• Credit 5.2 – Locally Harvested Materials

  • Steel: Rouge, Michigan (31 miles)
  • Polystyrene Cores: Byron Center, Michigan (148 miles)
  • Paint: Columbus, Ohio (236 miles)

• Credit 6 – Rapidly Renewable Materials

  Wood veneers are from sustainable forests (10% of materials).
