Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a globally recognized accreditation that encourages sustainable building design. Projects earn LEED credits by meeting prerequisites across key areas such as carbon, energy, water, waste, materials, and indoor environmental quality.
Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard, Trusscore SlatWall, NorLock by Trusscore, and RibCore by Trusscore can help builders earn credits in two major LEED categories: Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality.
The Materials & Resources category focuses on minimizing the impacts of extracting, processing, transporting, maintaining, and disposing of building materials. Trusscore contributes to two credits in the category.
Objective: Reduce the amount of construction and demolition waste sent to landfills or incineration facilities by recovering, reusing, and recycling materials.
How Trusscore Products Contribute:
100% recyclable
Can be recycled at municipal facilities where PVC is accepted
Offcuts and excess material can be returned to Trusscore manufacturing facilities when municipal recycling isn’t available
Diverts construction waste from landfills and supports circular economy principles
Objective: Encourage the reuse of existing building materials while reducing overall material consumption.
How Trusscore Products Contribute:
Custom lengths minimize offcuts during installation, lowering material consumption.
Offcuts and excess Wall&CeilingBoard and SlatWall can be reground into new materials during manufacturing; PVC can be recycled 6–7 times.
Panels are easy to install, remove, and reinstall in different buildings, extending their lifecycle and supporting material reuse strategies.
This category addresses environmental factors that influence air quality, lighting, acoustics, and overall comfort, directly impacting how people learn, work, and live. Trusscore contributes to two credits in the category.
Objective: Reduce chemical contaminants that can harm indoor air quality, human health, and productivity.
How Trusscore Products Contribute:
Low volatile organic compound (VOC) compliant
Meet California Department of Public Health (CDPH) 01350 standard for low-emitting materials
Improve indoor air quality and reduce harmful chemical exposure
Objective: Promote occupant productivity, comfort, and well-being through high-quality lighting.
How Trusscore Products Contribute:
Wall&CeilingBoard panels have a light reflectivity rate of 0.90, reflecting 90% of light striking the surface
Maximizes natural and artificial lighting in any space
