For business owners, installing artificial grass can help you achieve LEED Certification. LEED is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and, according to the U.S. Green Building Council, “LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.”
LEED certification is a mark that a company is aiming to help the environment through its design and how it operates. Certification is met through achieving a certain number of credits, which provide guidelines for architects and designer to develop green buildings. Some credits can be received through synthetic grass installation.
So, how does synthetic grass installation help with LEED certification?
First of all, fake grass reduces water waste. The lawn is guaranteed to be green and healthy-looking, so you don’t have to have your sprinkler system going constantly during the summer heat.
And with synthetic turf products, less chemicals are used to treat it, so the runoff of chemicals into natural waterways isn’t as much of a threat as it is with natural grass, which requires much more upkeep through chemical treatment.
Also, artificial turf products can be 100 percent recyclable, depending on the specific product used. Artificial turf manufacturers can reuse the product for other landscape products.
If you’re looking for a natural alternative for landscaping that can help your building attain LEED certification, the answer is artificial landscaping turf.
