LEEDING THE WAY

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a globally recognized green building certification program developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It provides a framework for creating healthy, efficient and sustainable buildings.

Technical Glass Products (TGP) supports projects seeking LEED certification by offering fire-rated glass and framing systems that can contribute to LEED credits. Depending on the product and project requirements, TGP materials may help with credits related to:

  • Sustainable Sites (SS): Use of products with bird friendly glass encourages biodiverse habitats, while products designed to withstand hurricane forces enhance resilient site design.
  • Materials and Resources (MR): Use of products with disclosed environmental and health impacts, such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Health Product Declarations (HPDs) and Declare Labels.

Thermal performance is an essential aspect of green building and obtaining LEED certification. TGP offers insulated glass units with low-e coatings for increased thermal performance as a part of the FireLite® and Pilkington Pyrostop® product lines. These coatings achieve the Department of Energy definitions for spectrally selective glazing (ratio of light transmission to SHGC). TGP also offers thermally enhanced fire-rated steel frames to help reduce heat flow and improve thermal performance.
