LEED® NC Luxalon Credits
Hunter Douglas Contract can assist architects/designers in a number of
key areas to accumulate potential LEED® credits toward project certification.
The process of documenting these credits requires technical data from
Hunter Douglas Contract and signed authority from the architect or engineer.
MR Credit 2.1 and 2.2 (Construction Waste Management)
●
The intent of this section is to divert construction, demolition and land-clearing
debris from disposal in landfills and incinerators
Hunter Douglas Contract aluminum ceiling panels are factory-cut to size,
significantly reducing field cutting and scrap that would ordinarily be diverted
into construction waste
●
Credit potential: 1 - 2
●
MR Credit 4.1 and 4.2 (Recycled Content)
●
●
The intent of this section is to increase demand for building products that
incorporate recycled content materials, thereby reducing the impacts resulting
from extraction and processing of virgin materials
Hunter Douglas aluminum ceilings are manufactured from material with over
70% recycled content (This contributes to both 4.1 & 4.2 credits):
— 40% is post-consumer
— 30% is pre-consumer
●
Credit potential: 1 - 2
MR Credit 5.1 and 5.2 (Regional Materials)
●
●
●
The intent of this section is to increase demand for building materials that are extracted
and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources
and reducing the environmental impacts resulting from transportation
This credit may be applicable for projects located within 500 miles of the Hunter Douglas
Contract manufacturing facility in Norcross, GA
— 1 credit may be available for 10% (based on cost)
of the total materials value
— 1 additional credit may be available for another 10%
(20% total) of the materials value
Credit potential: 2
EQ Credit 3.1 and 3.2 (Construction IAQ Management Plan)
●
●
The intent of this section is to reduce indoor air quality problems resulting
from the construction/renovation process in order to help sustain the comfort
and well-being of construction workers and building occupants
Hunter Douglas metal ceiling panels have no reportable VOC’s in the finished product
●
Hunter Douglas panels are factory finished and manufactured to size to reduce
the amount of on-site fabrication and finishing required which helps prevent
indoor air quality problems resulting from the construction process
●
Credit potential: 1 - 2
EQ Credit 4.2 (Low-Emitting Materials: Paints and Coatings)
●
●
●
The intent of this section is to reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants
that are odorous, irritating and/or harmful to the comfort and well-being of
installers and occupants
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): Hunter Douglas metal ceiling panels have been GREENGUARD
Indoor Air Quality Certified® by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute under the
GREENGUARD for Children and SchoolsSM product certification program.
Credit potential: 1
EA Credit 1 (Optimize Energy Performance)
●
The intent of this section is to achieve increasing levels of energy performance
above the prerequisite standards to reduce environmental and economic impacts
associated with excessive energy use
Hunter Douglas metal ceiling panels that have a Light Reflectance (LR) 1 rating
(ASTM E 1477) may potentially contribute to energy savings if automatic lighting
controls are part of design criteria for achieving maximum efficiency utilizing
natural day lighting
●
Credit potential: 1 – 10
