When you are working in a design program, you may want to include products
that, for example, meet design standards for Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Autodesk Seek can help you locate such information and products, and get
them into your design.
■ For more information about LEED green building certification, visit the
U.S. Green Building Council website: http://www.usgbc.org.
■ For more information about ADA standards for accessible design, visit U.S.
Department of Justice website: http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/.
