Gardena, CA: Arto Manufacturing Company is proud to announce our membership in the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).  The USGBC is a non-profit organization created to promote environmentally sustainable design and building practices and is responsible for the creation and development of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System.

Using the LEED system architects, builders, and owners can apply for project certification based on prerequisites and performance benchmarks in a range of categories.  Projects are awarded Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum certifications depending upon the number of credits received.  Arto products can help secure LEED credits in the following categories:

  • Regional Materials
  • Recycled Materials
  • Heat Island Effect Reduction
  • Storm Water Runoff Reduction
  • Innovation Credits

LEED certification is expanding rapidly and is now an important consideration for architects, real estate professionals, facility managers, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects, construction managers, lenders, government officials, and other building industry professionals.
