Floorscore Certified PVC Flooring

LEED (Pioneer Award for Energy and Environmental Design) is one of the most popular green building certifications in the world LEED certification is a rating system developed by the American Green Building Council (design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings). The rating system is based on a series of calculations to determine how effectively construction management materials, energy and their efficiency and cost are used in a construction project. In short, it is the effective use of resources.

According to the American green building association, “LEED certified buildings use resources effectively. They use less water and energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There’s another bonus, saving money. ” This of course includes the selection of floor decoration materials for the project, which also helps to obtain LEED certification for your construction project.

Five factors of floor system can affect LEED score

Although the use of PVC flooring does not seem to be an important part of LEED certification conditions, the impact of flooring materials on waste and air quality can add up to a building’s rating point. As follows:
Five factors of floor system can affect LEED score.

Although the use of PVC flooring does not seem to be an important part of LEED certification conditions, the impact of flooring materials on waste and air quality can add up to a building’s rating point. As follows:

1.Building reuse

PVC floor can be used for the repair of existing buildings, reduce the demand for building new facilities, or qualify for “building reuse” accumulation point.

2.Construction waste management

if PVC flooring products minimize waste (e.g. through the use of recyclable packaging), or qualify for the “construction waste management” accumulation point.

3.Recycled

if PVC floor contains recyclable materials, or it is qualified to obtain “recycled” accumulation point.

4.Fast renewable materials

recycled and bio based materials are used in PVC floor, or it is qualified to obtain the accumulation point of “fast renewable materials”.

5.Low emission material

PVC floor shall meet VOC (volatile organic compounds) requirements during installation, or be qualified for “low emission material” accumulation point.

Floorscale certification is also an environmental protection certification in the United States, and LEED certification recognizes floorscale. The haoflor PVC anti-static floor with floorscale certification helps to obtain LEED.
