The LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating
System promulgated by the U.S. Green Building Council
is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard
for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.
LEED provides a complete framework for assessing
building performance and meeting sustainable site
development, water savings, energy efficiency,
materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
LEED recognizes achievements and promotes expertise
in green building through a comprehensive system
offering project certification, professional accreditation,
training and practical resources. Manufacturers
can assist architects and builders realize their
commitment to sustainable environmental solutions,
and many of these solutions begin with a resource
comprised from one of earth's most plentiful recyclables...aluminum.
Through Delta Doors association with quality suppliers
of aluminum extrusions, you can be guaranteed that
the product you receive will satisfy LEED requirements
in four areas:
4.1 & 4.2 - Use of aluminum billet consisting
of a recycled content of at least 64% (41% - Pre-Consumer & 23%
- Post Industrial). This meets the LEED requirements
4.1 and 4.2 for using "materials with recycled
content such that the sum of the post-consumer
recycled content plus on-half of the pre-consumer
content constitutes 10% or 20% (based on cost)
of the total value of the materials in the project."
Also, with our supplier manufacturing materials
within the state of Florida, this helps meet LEED
requirements 5.1 that a project must "use
a minimum of 20% of building materials and products
that are manufactured regionally within a radius
of 500 miles" and 5.2, which states that "of
the regionally manufactured materials documented
for MR credit 5.1, use a minimum of 50% of building
materials and products that are extracted, harvested
or recovered (as well as manufactured) within 500
miles of the projects site." |
