The Mohawk Group, a company of four carpet brands, unveiled its LEED PLUS calculator – a free web-based tool that allows users to search building products and calculate LEED points and other industry environmental ratings in minutes – at the 2008 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo.

With the LEED PLUS calculator, customers can log in, choose a product, and then evaluate it against the following rating systems: LEED, CHPS (Collaborative For High Performance Schools), GGHC (Green Guide For Healthcare), LABS21 (Laboratories For The 21st Century), and compliance for all prevalent 3rd party certifications.  Results are delivered as a PDF report, which users can use as supplemental product documentation to be included in LEED certification submissions.  

The LEED PLUS calculator is powered by ecoScorecard, a software program that allows manufacturers to publish their green products with corresponding environmental characteristics on a web-based catalog so clients may quickly search by name, contribution or other attribute.

Companies like ecoScorecard continue to develop innovative software that provide building manufacturers with powerful tools to publish their green products with corresponding environmental characteristics.
