LEED Credit Potential Products Table 

One of the ways the U.S. construction industry measures sustainable green building and development practices is the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™, a universally understood and accepted tool and performance criteria.

BASF offers a number of admixture solutions that, if implemented correctly, can potentially contribute to the earning of LEED credits.  Please contact your local sales representative, if you need a Product Information Statement for our admixtures for LEED Credit Documentation.
