LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Prerequisites and credits differ for each rating system, and teams choose the best fit for their project.

LEED stands for green building leadership. LEED is transforming the way we think about how buildings and communities are designed, constructed, maintained and operated across the globe.

LEED certified buildings save money and resources and have a positive impact on the health of occupants, while promoting renewable, clean energy.

Specified Technologies Inc. (STI) manufactures the SpecSeal® and BlazeStop™ line of firestopping products as well as EZ-Path® Fire-Rated Pathways.

STI firestop materials and pathway devices are high quality firestop products designed
with the environment in mind. Wherever possible, formulations include material obtained
from recycled sources. STI takes steps to minimize or eliminate volatile organic
compounds (VOC’s). For all products, VOC content is far below the nationally recognized
standards set forth by the South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule #1168 and
Bay Area Air Quality Management District Regulation 8, Rule #51. Further, these products
are nontoxic and do not contain asbestos or halogens.

Our attention to the environment does not end with the product. Strict and effective
methods are employed to reduce packaging and promote the use of packaging with
recycled material content. Packaging is also recyclable. Additionally, our manufacturing
plants, warehouses and network of stocking distributers are strategically located to reduce
environmental impact through reduction of transportation distances.
