USGBC, Home Depot Form Green Database

Atlanta, GA, March 8, 2012 -- The U.S. Green Building Council and Home Depot have launched an online green home products database, leed.homedepot.com.

The site features products geared toward green home building, many of which may contribute towards earning LEED points and prerequisites for the LEED for Homes program.

Currently, more than 2,500 products sold at The Home Depot are listed on the website.

“The LEED green building program helps homeowners measure green home performance across a range of categories, and products play an important role in achieving certification,” said Nate Kredich, vice president of Residential Development at USGBC.

“This database represents just one of the many ways in which The Home Depot is advancing sustainable, efficient and healthy homes by supporting green building and green products.”
