1While building products do not "earn" points in and of themselves, they do have significant impact on cost/benefit results. Some materials and systems are very obvious solutions for achieving targeted strategies, e.g. permeable pavers, and others may be completely overlooked as contributors or efficient enablers in supporting green goals for a given project condition, e.g. post tensioned masonry fences.
