LEED Program

The LEED Program was created by the U.S. Green Building Council to encourage the construction of Green buildings. The LEED program offers a certification for buildings that meet certain standards.  One of these standards is the levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) present in the building.  EAS provides the analytical services to measure he recommended VOC compounds for this program.  The VOC's include Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC), 4-PCH (from carpets), and Formaldehyde.
