LEED
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) created LEED™ with the goal of encouraging the use of established or advanced environmental principles, practices, materials and standards in commercial building projects. In 2002, the USGBC launched several new documents outlining performance criteria. These include commercial construction (LEED 2.3), existing buildings (LEED EB), commercial interiors (LEED -CI), core and shell, multiple buildings and residential.
Whether your project is new construction or renovation, energy efficient roofing is an important point to consider - and Sika Sarnafil makes it easy.
With over 40 years experience providing high quality, proven performance roofing and waterproofing systems combined with the knowledge gained from working on more than 20 LEED buildings, Sika Sarnafil is uniquely qualified to help you with your roofing needs.
Sika Sarnafil's Roofing and Waterproofing Systems Play a Role
Reflective roofing such as Sika Sarnafil's EnergySmart Roof®, or a "green" vegetated roof using a Sika Sarnafil Green Roof System, qualify for one point under Sustainable Sites Credit 7: Heat Island Effect: Roof, Req. 2, which states: "Use ENERGY STAR compliant (highly reflective) AND high emissivity roofing (emissivity of at least 0.9 when tested in accordance with ASTM 408) for a minimum of 75% of the roof surface; OR install a "green" (vegetated) roof for at least 50% of the roof area. Combinations of high albedo and vegetated roof can be used providing they collectively cover 75% of the total roof area."
