LEED®
Developed
by the U.S.
Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a framework for identifying
and implementing measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
LEED
certification consists of a number of different rating systems that apply to many building types – commercial
as well as residential and measures how well a building performs across many sustainability metrics
including: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental
quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Whether
your project is new construction or renovation, energy efficient roofing, water run-off management and
renewable energy are all important points to consider - and Sika Sarnafil makes it easy.
With
over 40 years experience providing long lasting, energy efficient roofing and waterproofing systems
combined with the knowledge gained from working on dozens of LEED certified buildings, Sika Sarnafil
is uniquely qualified to assist you with your LEED project.
Sika
Sarnafil's Roofing and Waterproofing Systems Play a Role
Sustainable
Sites
Sika Sarnafil’s EnergySmart Roof®
membranes and Green Roof systems can contribute
to multiple points in LEED’s Sustainable Sites category. This is done by replacing natural landscape
removed in the construction process with a green (vegetated) roof, encouraging regionally appropriate
landscaping, controlling stormwater runoff; and helping reduce the heat island effect. Below are the sections where Sika Sarnafil products can help you obtain points towards LEED certification:
- Sustainability
Sites Credit 5.1 (Site Development: Protect or Restore Habitat) – A Green Roof contributes to the 1
point.
- Sustainability Sites Credit 5.2 (Site Development: Maximize
Open Space) – A Green Roof contributes to the 1 point.
- Sustainability
Sites Credit 6.1 (Stormwater Design: Quantity Control) – A Green Roof contributes to the 1 point.
- Sustainability
Sites Credit 6.2 (Stormwater Design: Quality Control) – A Green Roof contributes to the 1 point.
- Sustainability
Sites Credit 7.2 (Heat Island Effect: Roof) – An EnergySmart roof or Green Roof obtains up to 2 points.
Energy
& Atmosphere
Sika Sarnafil’s EnergySmart Roof membranes and Solar Roof systems
can contribute to multiple points in LEED’s Energy & Atmosphere category. This is accomplished by
helping optimize energy performance and the use of renewable and clean sources of energy, generated
on-site. Below are the sections where Sika Sarnafil products can help you achieve points towards LEED certification:
- Energy
and Atmosphere Credit 1 (Optimize Energy Performance) – An EnergySmart roof contributes to the possible
10 points.
- Energy and Atmosphere Credit 2 (On-Site Renewable Energy)
– A Solar Roof contributes to the possible 4 points.
Materials
& Resources
Sika Sarnafil’s EnergySmart Roof membranes and Roof Recycling Program
can be used to obtain multiple points in LEED’s Materials and Resources category. A mechanically attached
vinyl roof at the end of its useful life can be recycled by Sika Sarnafil into new roofing membrane
products and replaced with a roof membrane that is made with pre and post consumer recycled waste. Below are the sections where Sika Sarnafil can help with points towards LEED certification:
- Materials
and Resources Credit 2.1 and 2.2 (Construction Waste Management) – Sika Sarnafil’s Roof Recycling Program
contributes to the possible 3 points.
- Materials and Resources
Credit 4.1 and 4.2 (Recycled Content) – Any Sika Sarnafil membrane containing recycled content contributes
to the possible 3 points.
Indoor Environmental
Quality
Sika Sarnafil’s Low or No VOC emitting roof membrane adhesives can be
used to obtain a point in LEED’s Indoor Environmental Quality category. This is accomplished by not
contributing to possible fumes and/or odors during building construction. Below is the section where Sika Sarnafil products can help you achieve LEED points:
- Indoor
Environmental Quality Credit 4.1 (Low-Emitting Materials: Adhesives & Sealants) – Sika Sarnafil’s
Low or No VOC emitting membrane adhesives contribute to the 1 point
