Integrated Environmental Management Systems for material manufacturers are considered by LEED v4 and BREEAM

03.02.2017 Environmental Management Systems can be certified in accordance with ISO 14001 or EMAS. They regulate the planning, execution, control, and optimization of environmental protection within a company. By verifying the certificates of building product manufacturers, LEED v4 and BREEAM system points can be achieved.

Environmental Management Systems

Environmental Management Systems (EMS) are designed to coordinate and optimize operational environmental protection in a company. Companies can have their systems certified according to EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) or ISO 14001 “Environmental Management Systems – Requirements with Guidance for Application.”

According to the guidelines, the systems are designed for each company individually and adapted to its needs. According to ISO 14001, these include planning, execution, control, and optimization (Plan-Do-Check-Act).

Environmental Management Systems in the LEED v4 system and BREEAM UK 2014 / BREEAM International 2016

The Environmental Management Systems of building product manufacturers can positively influence the assessment for building certifications.

These are considered in the LEED v4 system under MR Credit 4: “Building Product Disclosure and Optimization – Material Components” in Option 3: “Product manufacturer supply chain optimization”.

In the BREEAM system (BREEAM UK 2014 / BREEAM International 2016), EMS certificates can also earn points. Up to three points can be achieved if manufacturers of building materials and their suppliers have integrated Environmental Management Systems into their companies. Alternative “responsible sourcing schemes” such as FSC / PEFC, BES 6001, eco-reinforcement, etc. can also be used to achieve the score.

We are happy to assist you in rating your products in accordance with LEED or BREEAM criteria. >> Contact
