The effect a building has on the environment can be substantially minimized with the efficient use and disposal of building materials. LEED
Materials and Resources credits looks at the products and materials used in building construction and requires that they be used efficiently, conservatively and pragmatically, from the design and specification of recycled material content to the effective management of the project waste stream throughout construction.
Not all credits have EDR-related webpages. Only credits with applicable EDR references show active links.
