A Colorado platinum LEED certified home and demo for the '08 Energy Star Summit in Denver, incorporates the latest green building materials, renewable energy technologies and environmentally friendly products - including Bigfoot.

LEED stands for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System which was designed to encourage, develop and expand sustainable green building practices through a national and international standard of criteria.

LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by focusing on: sustainable site development, water conservation, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor air quality.

LEED homes have lower energy and water bills, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and fewer problems with indoor pollutants.

The LEED for homes rating system measures the overall performance of a home using eight categories. The level of performance is designated by four levels- Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum - according to the number of points earned.
