Bass & Hays is committed to manufacturing high-quality castings that not only meet rigorous performance standards but also support environmental stewardship. Our products play a vital role in helping projects achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, the global benchmark for green building. By choosing Bass & Hays, you are investing in durable, reliable solutions that contribute to a more sustainable built environment.
What is LEED Certification?
LEED is a globally recognized green building certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It provides a framework for creating healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification serves as a testament to a project’s commitment to sustainability by measuring performance across several key areas, including energy use, water efficiency, and materials selection.
How Bass & Hays Castings Contribute to LEED Points
Integrating our products into your project can help you earn valuable points toward LEED certification, particularly within the Materials and Resources (MR) credit category. Our castings are manufactured with a focus on sustainability, making them an ideal choice for green building initiatives.
Key contributions include:
- Recycled Content: A significant portion of our American-made castings are 85% recycled content, including 20% post-consumer materials. Utilizing products with high recycled content reduces the demand for virgin resources, minimizes energy consumption, and lowers the overall environmental impact of your project.
- Regional Materials: With our manufacturing facility located in Grand Prairie, Texas, projects within a 100-mile radius can qualify for LEED points under the Regional Materials credit. Sourcing materials locally reduces transportation emissions and supports the regional economy.
- Durability and Lifecycle: Built to last, Bass & Hays products have a long service life, which reduces the need for frequent replacements. This durability contributes to sustainable building maintenance and minimizes future waste, aligning with the lifecycle principles of LEED.
