LEED Potential

Energy performance, resource efficiency and responsible manufacturing are key principles behind Cascadia windows and doors.

We can form a key part of your LEED program, with credits potentially available in several categories. Cascadia windows and doors are highly energy efficient, and can make a particularly significant contribution to design strategies that seek to reduce energy consumption.

 

Achieving the energy performance required under EA 1 requires considerable improvement over conventional performance, which in turn requires envelope assemblies – including windows and glazing – with superior performance ratings. Enhancing the thermal performance of your windows is particularly critical in buildings with large areas of glazing. Energy simulation software is used to model energy performance, in order to demonstrate compliance with EA credit 1.
