If you have ever had to source sustainable materials for a building design, you know about ratingsystems like Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), administered by the nonprofitU.S. Green Building Council, (USGBC).

There are many more calculations that are made in determining a LEED rating, or Cradle-to-Cradle ranking, but the metrics of manufacturing and transport are big with all construction materials.
