Potential LEED Credits

Energy & Atmosphere, Prerequisite 2, Minimum Energy Performance: Thermally-efficient H-Shield facilitates compliance with ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-1999 and local energy codes.

Energy & Atmosphere, Credit 1, Optimize Energy Performance: H-Shield provides high thermal resistance (R-value) per inch of material, is economical, and would assist in reaching the specified reduction of design energy costs.

Materials & Resources, Credit 1, Building Reuse: H-Shield can be, and often is, reused when building renovations include recover roof applications or partial tear offs in which only the membrane is removed.

Materials & Resources, Credit 2, Construction Waste Management: If the total percentage of reused materials in a project does not meet the minimum levels stated in Materials & Resources, Credit 1, Building Reuse, these reuse activities many be applied to this credit.

Materials & Resources, Credit 4, Recycled Content: H-Shield can be used toward the recycled material credit.

Materials & Resources, Credit 5, Local/Regional Materials: Hunter has six plants in North America, so for most projects, a credit will be given for manufacturing the product within 500 miles of the job site.

Innovation & Design Process, Credit 1, Innovation in Design: H-Shield with zero ozone depletion potential and zero global warming potential has been available since _____ in an HCFC-free formulation in early compliance with the Montreal Protocol. Since ozone depleting insulations are also available, credit for using materials with this HCFC-free technology may be granted.
