Our Design for the Environment approach includes our active membership in voluntary
programs such as the U.S. Green Building Council, the nation's foremost coalition
of leaders from industry and government working to promote buildings that are
environmentally responsible, profitable, and healthy places.
One of the largest contributions office furniture can make to a building's LEED
certification is indoor air quality via low-emitting products. For certification
of our product lines, Kimball Office uses the Indoor Advantage program from Scientific
Certification Systems (SCS). Under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED-CI program,
furniture tested and certified by the SCS can help contribute valuable points to a
building's overall LEED ranking.
SCS Indoor Advantage: Certification Guidelines
- Products certified to Indoor Advantage meet the BIFMA FES and LEED requirements.
- Products certified to Indoor Advantage Gold meet the BIFMA FES, LEED, and CA 01350 requirements.
