Veltia Hand Dryers can help Obtain LEED points using the following: Energy & Atmosphere Minimum Energy Performance (EA Prerequisite 2) Optimize Energy Performance (EA Credit 1) Materials & Resources Materials & Resources (MR Prerequisite 1 & 2) Sustainable Purchasing: Ongoing Consumables (MR Credits 1.1 - 1.3) Solid Waste Management: Ongoing Consumables (MR Credits 7.1 – 7.2) Energy and Atmosphere Minimum Energy Performance (EA Prerequisite 2, Credit 1) The intent of the Minimum Energy Performance prerequisite is to establish a minimum level of operating energy efficiency performance for the building and systems. The implementation of energy-saving operational and management practices and/or energy-efficiency retrofits to reduce energy use to the required level will satisfy this prerequisite. Once this prerequisite is satisfied, 2 to 15 LEED points can be obtained in the Energy and Atmosphere, Optimize Energy Performance, category depending on the building’s energy efficiency. Materials and Resources Sustainable Purchasing and Solid Waste Management (MR Prerequisites 1 & 2, Credits 1.1 – 1.3 and Credits 7.1 – 7.2) The intent of the Sustainable Purchasing Policy prerequisite (MR Prerequisite 1) is to reduce the environmental impact of materials acquired for use in the operations, maintenance, and upgrades of buildings and the intent of the Solid Waste Management Policy prerequisite (MR Prerequisite 2) is to reduce the amount of waste and toxins that are hauled to and disposed of in landfills or incineration facilities. Once these prerequisites are satisfied, 1 to 5 points may be obtained in the Materials and Resources, Sustainable Purchasing – Ongoing Consumables and Solid Waste Management – Ongoing Consumables categories.
