Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a nationally certified green building system implemented to improve metric performance in buildings and ensure better care of utilized resources, lessening their environmental impact. The Natural Stone Council is currently working to better the position of natural stone in the LEED rating system, promoting genuine stones as opposed to man-made stones.

Genuine stone not only works great in large construction projects, but also during in-home renovations. The longevity and durability of natural rock, not to mention its shear beauty, make is far superior to any man-made rendition. So, using natural stones is a great way to participate in this socially and environmentally responsible construction effort.
