LEED & Transparency

About Michael Roemen

Michael Roemen previously served as 9Wood's Marketing Manager. Over 15 years with 9Wood, he worked in design assist, estimating, and rep support. His family teases him because he will drive out of the way to go see a building. Born and raised in Oregon, his favorite species is Douglas fir.

9Wood products are fabricated specifically for each individual project, so transparency information is specific to each assembly. There is no “one size fits all” document addressing all 9Wood assemblies. However, there are many components that are frequently used.

Many of our components help qualify toward green building credit opportunities.

Many of the components help qualify toward green building credit opportunities. If you are working on a LEED, LBC, WELL, or similar green building rating system and have specific requirements, credentialed members of the 9Wood architectural team will help guide you toward specific options.
