The LEED Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus-based
program for developing high-performance sustainable buildings. Based on well-founded
scientific standards, LEED emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for
sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials
selection and indoor environmental quality. It is becoming an increasingly
important component of the building design. The SlenderWall system can
assist the designer in obtaining LEED Certification for the building.
The number of points gained toward Certification depends upon various design
factors, such as the mix used and the finish. For example, more points may
be obtained if a light-colored mix is utilized, or if a Thin Brick or Architectural
Precast Concrete Brick (APCB) finish is utilized. Contact an Easi-Set representative
(540-439-8911 or 800-547-4045) for more specific details.
The CTL Group reviewed SlenderWall and how it can qualify projects for
LEED points. The results of their opinion letter are below. View full
