Sustainable Building

LEED CERTIFICATION

mark leeds Leed (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an international system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to promote sustainable and efficient construction. LEED is a voluntary certificate and can be applied to any building whether new or existing. LEED certifies buildings and not products.

 

Our products can help certify the sustainability of your project according to LEED by earning points in the following fields:

USE OF REGIONAL MATERIAL (Credit MR 5)

Our red biscuit wall and floor tiles can help you obtain points in this field where the project is located within a 800km radius of our factories in Alcora, Castellon, Spain.

HEAT ISLAND EFFECT (Credit SS 7.1)

Many of our products have a Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) greater than 29, helping to minimize the Heat Island Effect and therefore they are particularly suited to be fixed in the exterior.

LOW EMITTING MATERIALS (Credit EQ 4.3)

Our products do not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to the tiles being fired in very high temperatures helping to maintain a stable and healthy ambience in the interior.
