LEEP, Inc. Pursues International and 'Green' Certifications

- Retains Structural Engineering Firm To Spearhead Process - 


MONTOURSVILLE, Pa., May 1  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LEEP, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LPPI), announced today that the company has formally retained NCE, Inc. Consulting Structural Engineers, headquartered in Irvine, California.  NCE, Inc. will provide structural engineering services and support for an ICC Evaluation Report for its LeepCore(TM) structural, insulated (R-25) building panel.  The result of an ICC Evaluation Report is qualification for, and inclusion in, the published International Building Code.  In addition, LEEP, Inc. has retained NCE, Inc. to provide technical engineering support and expertise to spearhead the submittal process to certify LeepCore(TM) as a "Green" building product in the State of California. Users of "Green" building products in California can qualify for various tax incentives, and are supported and encouraged by the State government for their environmental awareness and positive action.  NCE, Inc., a licensed and highly experienced firm, will review testing procedures, requirements, details, and results necessary for both the State of California "Green" certification, as well as the International Code Council Evaluation for the LeepCore(TM) structural insulated panel.  NCE, Inc. will prepare the required reports for submittal, and manage the process to completion, including response to any ICC or California comments or questions.

LEEP, Inc. recently obtained certification of its LeepCore(TM) panel in compliance with the most recent 2006 and 2007 State of Florida Building Code Standards, and is currently completing the validation process there.  "While our panels have passed a broad range of extensive tests under a variety of conditions, we have received sincere international interest in the LeepCore(TM) product and feel the ICC certification is the final step to providing architects and engineers with the validation they need to specify LeepCore(TM) for new structural uses in the global marketplace.  California is generally regarded as the litmus test for environmental issues and acceptance of environmentally friendly products.  Certification as a 'Green' building product will be significantly positive for LeepCore(TM)," stated John Nordstrom, CEO of LEEP, Inc.
