The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) has awarded GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification to twelve Zoom Seating office seating lines.
The upholstered task seating underwent testing to the GREENGUARD Certification Program's strict test protocols for low emitting indoor materials and continues to test on an ongoing basis. Architects and designers can specify Zoom Seating office chairs, like all GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified(R) Products, with the confidence that they will not significantly contribute to indoor air pollution.
GREENGUARD Certified seating enables architects and designers to achieve points for the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) Program. GREENGUARD tested and certified seating and system furniture is a referenced requirement under Credit 4.5 in the Indoor Environmental Quality section.
Furthermore, GREENGUARD Certified Products help significantly to meet indoor air quality baseline testing requirements. Common interior furnishings and building materials release odorous or potentially irritating contaminants, which may negatively affect people's health. Products bearing the GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified label help significantly reduce indoor air pollution.
All GREENGUARD Certified Products are readily available. Specifying and building professionals use GREENGUARD Certified Products to create superior interior environments without added cost or effort.
