SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS - THE GUIDE TO LEED - 2

Reynaers develops innovative and sustainable aluminium solutions, for windows, doors, curtain walls and sun screening, which increase the architectural value of buildings and enhance people’s living and working environment. By integrating these solutions in buildings, Reynaers’ products can contribute to the overall sustainability level of the building, thus achieving points for building certificates such as LEED. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, evolving, consensus-based international standard for developing...

Energy & Atmosphere (EA) LEED Architect: Cigler Marani Architects EAp2 – Minimum Energy Performance (required) An energy modeling study is required, aiming for at least 10% improvement compared with the baseline building performance rating. This minimum energy performance level is mandatory for each project. EAc1 – Optimize Energy Performance By optimizing this Energy Performance level, incrementally from 12% up to over 48% improvement, up to 19 LEED points will be awarded. • To achieve increasing levels of energy Relevant fenestration (frame and glass) properties performance beyond the...

More than 40% of the energy used within the European Union is used in heating, cooling, lighting and managing the buildings in which we live and work. This figure must be reduced by at least 60% before 2050 in order to meet current global climate change targets. Reynaers is uniquely positioned to help reduce the environmental impact of new and existing buildings. Our declared intent and philosophy is to continue innovating towards a greener planet and the objective of zero-energy building across Europe by 2020. REYNAERS SOLUTIONS Our window and door solutions (CS series), sliding doors (CP...

REYNAERS SOLUTIONS Our building integrated photovoltaic solutions for curtain wall and shading systems (CW 60 solar, BS 100 Solar, BS 30 Solar) provide excellent characteristics for this credit. All photovoltaic (PV) technologies can be used once they are integrated in the glass. However, the type of PV cells and the available PV area will affect the amount of 7 energy produced. Also, with our RB 10 Solar, solar panels can be integrated into the balustrade. Integrating these PV panels can reduce the energy cost of the building by up to 13%, as part of the energy consumed by the building is...

REYNAERS SOLUTIONS Aluminium is known as the green metal, as it is 100% recyclable without loss of quality and characteristics. It is a strong and light construction material with very low maintenance and long durability. Over 75% of the aluminium ever produced is still in use. Reynaers Aluminium constantly investigates innovative ways to improve the recyclability of its products, but also involves all of its stakeholders to guarantee that aluminium windows are recycled into new windows. Each year, our supplier extruders are evaluated for the level of recycled aluminium content they deliver...

REYNAERS SOLUTIONS In most countries, one of the applicable credits already gained can bring you an additional point. REYNAERS SOLUTIONS The best way to get natural fresh air into a building is by opening a window or sliding element (CS and CP series). The turn and tilt position of a window gives the user two levels of fresh air supply. These windows can also be integrated in curtain wall systems (CW series), achieving natural ventilation in the building. Based on the ventilation study, the total natural ventilation needs to be set-up correctly in order to gain the LEED point.
