LEED, BREEAM And WELL Projects
Tikkurila have a full range of products suitable for use in LEED, BREEAM and WELL building projects. All 3 have different pointing systems where the maximum score is usually 100 points. Paints can normally affect 1-4 points out of 100 points. For paints, lacquers and plasters there are minimum requirements and requirement criteria levels. The requirements relate mainly to indoor use on site. Generally, the requirements are related to the following:
- VOC content in g/l of wet paint and this assessment method (standard or calculation method)
- Product emissions to indoor air g/m 3 (TVOC, formaldehyde)
- Schemes for emissions from construction products (M1, Emicode EC1, Blue Angel, AgBB)
- Material ingredients (hazardous substances)
- Mildew growth protection of products used in wet rooms
- Heat island effect (Solar reflection index, SRI)
- EPD (Environmental product declaration)
The suitability of the products for the project requires cooperation with the project participants. Tikkurila can provide written documentation for compliance of the requirements where applicable. Contact enquiries@valtti.co.uk for further details.
