Accoya is a solid modified wood made only from sustainable sources.

The use of Accoya wood has contributed to the project's LEED-H points in the category of Materials and Resources.

The home achieved an official rating by the US Green Building Council as a GOLD certified LEED for Home Project and is the first LEED-H Gold Home in RI.

Accoya wood is suitable for demanding outdoor applications such as decks, and has recently been approved by the American Window and Door Manufacturers' Association (WDMA) on the Chemically Modified Wood List as meeting the requirements of the WDMA I.S.4 'Industry Specification for Preservative Treatment For Millwork'.
