| LEED Certified Building |
| |
.jpg) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a rating system that provides a set of standards for environmentally sustainable construction. LEED certified buildings use resources more efficiently as opposed to conventional buildings that are simply constructed to code. LEED certified buildings provide healthier work and living environments, improved air and water quality and reductions in solid waste--benefitting not only owners and occupiers, but society as a whole.
Studies suggest that an initial up-front investment of 2% extra will yield over ten times the initial investment over the life cycle of the building. The goal is to install long-lasting materials that do not need to be replaced frequently, reducing depletion of natural resources and waste to landfills. Up-front costs are amortized over the life of the building, proving that sustainable products, such as Entegra roof tiles, are a wise and cost-effective investment.
Entegra`s concrete roof tile is a product that continues to be manufactured with renewable, recyclable materials. Concrete roof tiles are manufactured from natural materials: sand, cement, water, inorganic pigments for color and water-based sealers. Where clay tile is baked in a kiln and asphalt shingles are petroleum-based, our tile simply has to cure naturally.
We would be happy to assist you with sustainable roofing options should you choose to embark on the LEED journey. Call 863.467.0042 or e-mail us at sales-info@entegra.com for more information on LEED and Entegra.
