THE LEED® ASSESSMENT SYSTEM MAPPING OF ISOLGOMMA PRODUCTS

HOW DOES ISOLGOMMA CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS ECO-SUSTAINABILITY The materials used in construction are increasingly required to fulfil eco-sustainable requirements in order to minimise the environmental impact. Isolgomma has always been at the forefront in the use of regenerated and recycled materials selected through rigorous processes: indeed, our raw materials are made up of recycled materials for at least 92%. These materials guarantee solutions with limited environmental impact and promote sustainable development, while preserving the natural environment and the quality of life. Isolgomma implements...

WHICH ARE THE CERTIFICATION LEVELS LEED® is a system for certifying the sustainability of buildings that takes into account their energy efficiency, water efficiency, the site on which the building is constructed, the materials and resources used for its construction and the quality of indoor environments with regard to air quality and thermal comfort. Jt is therefore important to be able to prove and explain that the products making up the structure and the building’s outfitting conform to the standard’s criteria and/or their potential contributions in fulfilling said requirements. The LEED®...

WHAT IS THE LEED® STANDARD PRODUCTS MAPPING “Product mapping” is the expression used to define the analysis of single products of a company in terms of their energy and environmental sustainability with respect to the LEED® standard. It practically consists in a verification – carried out by a third party – aimed at demonstrating that the single product conforms to one or more of the LEED requirements and credits. Each company that is interested in being competitive on a market in which LEED maps its products must gradually adopt a production system geared towards sustainability and energy saving...

WHAT IS THE LEED® STANDARD PRODUCTS MAPPING The Sylwood line is a range of innovative, high performance products specifically designed to acoustically upgrade existing buildings. Sylwood is a low thickness, regenerated high-density rubber mat with cork granules that dampens footfall noise transmission that will comply with local Building Control standards. The product has been specifically developed to meet any soundproofing requirements in restructuring and upgrading of existing flooring involving the normal or ready to use wood floor finish. Sylwood can be easily dry or glued applied directly...

WHAT IS THE LEED® STANDARD PRODUCTS MAPPING STYWALL The Stywall line is designed to increase the sound-insulating power of walls and improve the sound impact insulation of floors, preventing the transmission of aerial noise and vibrations. The Stywall line consists of various types of strips that are ideal for the under wall applications, guarantee high elasticity and quick laying, and allow for perfect structural junction. The products are made up of SBR rubber granules that have been pressed at high density and are available in either rolled up bundles or in flat strips and come in different...

EA Credit 1 Optimisation of energy performance Reference standard: (from 1 to 19 points) - LEED® 2009 FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND MAJOR RENOVATIONS - LEED® FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS - LEED® FOR SCHOOLS - LEED® ITALIA - LEED® GBC HOME (from 1 to 27 points) Aim To attain increasingly high energy performance levels for the proposed buildings and systems that exceed the minimum values specified in the standard, in order to reduce the economic and environmental impact associated with excessive energy consumption. Requirements I progettisti che documentano il raggiungimento del credito 1 soddisfano automaticamente...

EA Credit 2 (2 points) Advanced performance of the opaque envelope Reference standard: - LEED® GBC HOME Management of construction waste OPAQUE STRUCTURES OPAQUE HORIZONTAL STRUCTURES CEILINGS FLOORS VERTICAL CLIMATE ZONE Aim To obtain improved thermophysical performance levels for the opaque envelope components compared to the prerequisite. Requirements It is necessary to attain the transmittance levels listed in the tables below. The thermal transmittance (U) values of the opaque components are grouped according to the climate zones (Table 1 and Table 2) Table 1: thermal transmittance...

MR Credit 2 (from 1 to 2 points) Management of construction waste Reference standard: - LEED® 2009 FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND MAJOR RENOVATIONS - LEED® FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS - LEED® FOR SCHOOLS - LEED® ITALIA - LEED® GBC HOME Aim To direct waste generated from demolition and construction activities (site activities) towards recovery and recycling facilities, rather than to waste dumps or incinerators. Requirements To direct waste from waste dumps by recycling and/or recovering non-hazardous waste deriving from construction and demolition activities. The company must draft a site waste management...

MR Credit 5 (from 1 to 2 points) Materials that are extracted, processed and produced at a limited distance (regional materials) Reference standard - LEED® 2009 FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND MAJOR RENOVATIONS - LEED® FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS - LEED® FOR SCHOOLS - LEED® ITALIA - LEED® GBC HOME Aim To increase the demand for construction materials and products that have been extracted and processed in a regional context, thereby promoting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impact due to their transport. The use of construction materials and products that have been extracted,...

SUMMARY TABLES IEQ Credito 9 (1 points) Advanced acoustic performance Reference standard: - LEED® FOR SCHOOLS Aim To design acoustically isolated classrooms in which teachers can speak freely to their students without keeping their voice down, and in which students can effectively communicate with each other and with the teacher. Requirements SOUND TRANSMISSION: to design the building envelope, the partition walls of classrooms and other partitions within study spaces in a way that fulfils the requirements of the Sound Transmission Class (STC) of the ANSI S12.60 - 2002 Standard, Acoustical Performance...
