Leed

Eco-sustainability

What is LEED® rating

The system is based on credits for each building sustainability features.
The sum of credits determines the level of certification obtained.
Certification is voluntary and not mandatory.
The LEED® rating system has gradually spread internationally; projects registered for LEED® certification have been implemented in more than 160 countries worldwide.
LEED® protocols are an authoritative and universally recognized system for the certification of buildings designed, constructed and managed in a sustainable and efficient manner.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

It’s a rating-based system for environmental and energetical quality that rewards design and building choices for higher performances ‘green’ buildings.

Features

  • Maintenance of thermo-hygrometric comfort of buildings and the environment.
  • Lower environmental impact of products and buildings (during production, transport and construction and re-use).
  • RECORD products can guarantee:
  • Less consumption of natural resources (raw materials and water).
  • Lower energy consumption (transport or air conditioning).
  • Decrease of atmospheric pollution.

The RECORD Research and Development office promotes the study and implementation of products that bring effective and measurable benefits to customers, end users and the environment.
To date, the LEED® rating system represents the best rating protocol for eco-sustainability characteristics of buildings and defines the criteria for evaluating products, guaranteeing a higher market value for more virtuous buildings.

Although LEED® certificate is for building, the use of products that comply with LEED® requirements is crucial.
RECORD offers high-profile products useful to obtain LEED® credits
for building projects in four main areas.
