LEED

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a green building certification program administered by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI). It provides third-party certification that a building is designed and built using materials and methods which reduce environmental impact.

The LEED program is designed to apply at all types of buildings, at any stage of a building's life cycle and provides construction industry professionals and building owners with a framework to produce green buildings that provide a healthy environment for their occupants.

Evaluation Criteria:

LEED bases its evaluation on a building's performance in the following five key areas: energy efficiency, water efficiency, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and overall sustainability of the site. The use of the StarFix range of single component adhesives and coatings falls into the EQ Credit 4.1: Low-Emitting Materials: Adhesives & Sealants subsection of the ‘materials and resources’ category.

Star Uretech declares that the following data is accurate and should be used in your LEED assessment:

StarFix single component pedestal adhesives and coatings are supplied in metal containers that when empty or contain only fully cured material, can be recycled or disposed of as general building waste.

LEED EQ Credit 4.1: Low-Emitting Materials submittal:

StarFix single component pedestal adhesives and coatings are tested according to the EU/BS standard EN 13999:2013 and are compliant to the following standard:

SCAQMD allowable VOC content (g/L): 70.00 - Product VOC content (g/L): <10.00
