Potential Contribution to Earning LEED Credit

Henry Company supports the use of green building practices and energy efficient construction design. Henry Company manufactures several building envelope systems that support this effort and contribute toward achieving LEED points. A summary of the possible LEED points which may be obtained through the use of Henry Company’s PERMAX 1.8 and 2.0 Polyurethane Foam Insulation systems are as follow:

• Energy and Atmosphere, EA Prerequisite 2
  PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 contribute energy costs savings though out the life of the structure. PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 provide energy saving of up to 30%.
  
  
• Optimize Energy Performance, EA Credit 1
  PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 contribute energy costs savings though out the life of the structure. PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 provide energy saving of up to 30%.
• Indoor Environmental Quality, Low-Emitting Materials, IEQ Credit 4
  PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 have a low VOC content of 13 grams per liter (g/L)
• Indoor Environmental Quality, Thermal Comfort, IEQ Credit 7.1
  PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 can help a building comply with ASHRAE 55-2004 including humidity control within established range by eliminating infiltration of outside air and creating a tighter building envelope.
• Regional Materials, MR Credit 5
  The cured polyurethane foam insulation is manufactured at project location using resins provided by Henry Company. As a result, PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 always comply with the 500-mile limitation as required by LEED MR credit 5.
• Innovation in Design, ID Credit 1
  PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 exhibit superior thermal performance and installation flexibility that may contribute to this credit. PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 can be easily applied into areas inaccessible to other forms of insulation. PERMAX 2.0 and 1.8 also provide superior air sealing when compared to fiberglass or cellulose insulation.
