THE CONFORMITY TO THE LEED REQUIREMENTS CONFIRMS GRANITIFIANDRE'S GREEN SOUL

The prestigious International Certification Authority "Bureau Veritas", after checking the Conformity in accordance with the requirements LEED concerning the criterion 4.1 that is "Content of recycled material", awarded GranitiFiandre with the "Conformity Certificate" in which you can find the products with a content exceeding 40% and the relative percentages.

The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an evaluation system for the energetic – environmental qualities oriented to the realization of high performances "green" buildings, born in the USA in 2000 on hint of the US Green Building Council – that is now obtaining a wide consent on an international level both for new building interventions and for integral restructuring.

The system is based on the attribution of credits for all the requirements that concur to the final score formation to attribute to the building. Among the many criteria, LEED requires the employment of materials with high recycled content and in this point of view, our researchers have studied proper dough mixtures in which, through appositively dedicated processes, percentages of recycles coming both from the internal production, and from the transformation of mixture coming from similar productive cycles have been inserted.

These researches consented in years to appreciably reduce the consumption of natural resources maintaining the same high technical and aesthetical standards which are typical of GranitiFiandre's materials.
