The United States Green Building Council (USGBC) developed a credit-based rating system to help encourage sustainable design. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System developed by the USGBC establishes requirements for design components that impact sustainable design. Credits or points are earned for meeting specific milestones in various categories. These categories include Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation and Design Process. A minimum number of available points are required to achieve a LEED Certified rating. Higher Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels are also available by meeting higher point thresholds. Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel Systems is an ideal insulation choice for inclusion into LEED building designs.

• Stable Thermal Efficiency – Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel Systems is one of the few rigid board insulations that does not lose its R-value over time. Polyiso and Extruded Polystyrene insulations suffer from thermal drift due to the loss of blowing agents to the atmosphere, and this results in a lower R-value for the building as it ages. Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel Systems does not suffer from R-value thermal drift.
  
  
• Recyclable – Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel Systems is 100% recyclable.
  
  
• Zero Ozone Depleting Potential – Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel Systems does not and never has contained ozone depleting blowing agents (CFC, HCFC, or HFCs).
