Planning notes and best practices for Sustainability and LEED Credits for Masonry Systems
Building for a Greener Future
At Old Mill Building Products, we believe in the circular economy. Real clay brick is one of the most sustainable building materials on earth, and our systems are designed to enhance its performance.
Earning LEED Points
Our products can contribute to several categories within LEED v4 and v5 certification:
- Energy & Atmosphere (EA): The continuous insulation of Panel+ helps achieve significant energy savings beyond the ASHRAE 90.1 baseline.
- Materials & Resources (MR): We provide Industry-Average Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Health Product Declarations (HPDs) for our systems.
- Recycled Content: Our EPS foam panels contain up to 15% recycled content, and brick itself is 100% natural and fully recyclable at the end of its life cycle.
- Regional Materials: With multiple manufacturing and distribution sites across North America, we help projects satisfy local sourcing requirements (typically within 500 miles of the site).
