5 - 5 - What is LEED? Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System Certification programme (for buildings) LEED ensures that facilities are designed, constructed and operated effectively (focus on life cycle cost) Documents are assembled and submitted to US or Canadian Green Building Council (USGBC) for certification

8 United States Green Building Council Promotes construction of buildings that are: Environmentally responsible Profitable Healthy places to live and work - 8 -

9 - 9 - Why is LEED important? Estimates for Canada (2007) Percentage of owners that will certify their buildings: Educational 65% Government 62% Office 48% Healthcare 46% Residential 32% Hospitality 22% Retail 22%

10 LEED Standards 2009 Standards available edition 2009: Green Building Design and Construction New Construction Core and Shell Schools Commercial interiors

11 LEED - Principals 9 Certification for project (building) 1 Idea for LEED certificatio n! 2 Request for design according to LEED rules, define level! LEED design and documentation of project 8 Demand for project certification, provide documentation To be accredited for LEED 7 Provide documents 6 Provide information and declaration for products Requirement to contractors and demand for information Demand for information

12 LEED Levels 2009 Four levels of LEED 2009: Certified level points Silver level points Gold level Platinum level 80+ ( possible) LEED-NC, v1.0--level: Certified LEED-NC, v1.0--level: Platinum Energy Resource Center Chicago Center for Green Technology

14 New Construction Existing Building Core and Shell Commercial Internal Schools LEED 2009 Credit Points Distribution Sustainable Sites SS Water Efficiency WE Energy and Atmosphere EA Materials and Resources MR Indoor Environmental Quality IEQ Innovation and Design ID Regional Priority RP Base points Total points

15 LEED - Points Majority of credit-points earned in five design/build credit- categories: Indoor Environmental Quality Sustainable Sites Material and Resources Water Efficiency Energy and Atmosphere

16 LEED and Sika Sika materials and systems can impact following LEED categories: Sustainable Site (SS) Energy and Atmosphere (EA) Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Sika can help to achieve LEED credits: Materials and Resources (MR)

17 Sika-relevant Credits Material and Resources Credit 4 Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Credit 4.1 Credit 4.2 Credit 4.3 Credit 5 Regional Materials (MR) Low-Emitting Materials Adhesives and Sealants Low-Emitting Materials - Paints and Coatings Low-Emitting Materials Flooring Systems 500 miles Should be considered in case by case.

18 Sika-relevant Credits for Flooring, Coating (example) Credit 4.2 Low-Emitting Materials, Paints and Coatings (IEQ) Clear wood finishes, floor coatings, stains, primers > SCAQMD rule 1113 Example floor coatings VOC < 100 g/l. Sikadur Sikafloor SikaGard All Cement Products

19 Sika-relevant Credits for Sealants, Adhesives (example) Credit 4.1 Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Low-Emitting Materials, Adhesives and Sealants SCAQMD rule 1168, VOC Content Example ceramic tile adhesive < 65 g/l wood flooring adhesives < 100g/l Sikaflex Sikasil SikaBond

20 LEED - Credit for Sika Sarnafil Roofing (example) Credit 2 On-Site Renweable Energy (EA) Use on-site renewable energy systems to offset building energy costs. Calculate project performance by expressing to energy produced by the renewable systems as percentage of the buildings annual energy cost. Credit 6 Green Power (EA) Engage in at least a 2-year renewable energy contract to provide at least 35% of the buildings electricity from renewable sources. Example of Sika products: Sika offers roof waterproofing master membranes for lamination of photovoltaic cells.

21 LEED - Credit for Sika Sarnafil roofing (example) Credit 7.2 Heat Island Effect (SS) High reflecting Use roofing materials with solar reflectance index >78 for min. 75% of roof surface (low sloped roofs). Example, high reflecting roof waterproofing membrane, e.g. Sarnafil S 327 Energy Smart. Green roofs Install a vegetated roof that covers at least 50% of the roof area. Example of Sika products: e.g. Sikaplan 45, Sikaplan SGMA, Sarnafil G
