How does Climate Earth help with LEED credits for low-carbon concrete?

LEED and Low-Carbon Concrete

Relevant LEED Credits

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) projects can earn credits for using building materials with reduced environmental impact. For concrete, the most relevant credit is MR Credit: Building Product Disclosure and Optimization – Environmental Product Declarations (under LEED v4 and v4.1). This credit rewards the use of products with verified Type III EPDs and, in its optimization tier, products that demonstrate reduced embodied carbon below the industry average.

How Climate Earth Supports LEED

• Generates verified Type III EPDs compliant with ISO 14025 and relevant PCRs
• Provides product-level GWP data that meets LEED documentation requirements
• Compares mixes against industry benchmarks so your team can identify which options qualify for optimization credits
• Produces the documentation your customers need to submit LEED credit claims

LEED requirements can vary by project and rating system version. For project-specific guidance, consult with your customer's LEED consultant or contact the Climate Earth team.
