- 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. The "LEEP" name and logo,
