Carpet Meets Green Building Standards
Carpet systems approved by CRI’s Green Label Plus indoor air quality standard can contribute one full Indoor Environmental Quality Credit to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ratings of the U.S. Green Building Council. Similarly, the Green Guide for Health Care awards one point to healthcare facilities that install Green Label Plus carpet. Furthermore, Green Label Plus carpet is used as a specification standard for the American Lung Association’s Healthy Home program, the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), and the state of California.
Carpet Saves Money Over Time
Carpet will maintain its life and beauty for many years when properly cleaned and maintained. In terms of both labor and cleaning supplies, carpet saves you money over the long run.
Carpet is Certified to Have Low VOCs
As compared to other common flooring options used in new construction and renovations, carpet emits the lowest level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It also requires fewer cleaning chemicals for maintenance than do other floor coverings. CRI’s Green Label Plus standard carpet brings those VOCs down even more. The VOCs new carpet does emits are short-lived and largely dissipate within 24 to 48 hours – even faster with fresh air ventilation.
In addition, carpet improves indoor air quality by trapping allergens and other particles so they can be easily vacuumed away.
CRI’s Green Label Plus standards, which have been adopted across the industry, serve as the benchmark for low VOC emissions. The Green Label Plus symbol indicates:
- The manufacturer voluntarily participates in the program.
- The manufacturer is committed to developing ways to minimize adverse effects on indoor air quality.
- A representative sample of the product type has been tested by an independent laboratory and meets the highest established emissions requirements.
