What is a LEED certification?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and are undeniably the most widely used sustainability certifications for new and existing buildings. LEED provides a framework for building owners and operators to create environmentally responsible and resource-efficient buildings. It is created by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) <\/a>and has become an internationally recognized standard for green building certification. LEED certification is based on a points system, where buildings earn points for various sustainable strategies and practices, such as energy efficiency, water conservation and the use of renewable materials. The more points a building earns, the higher its certification level, ranging from certified to silver, gold and platinum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does a Sempergreenwall contribute to a LEED cerfiticate for your project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Living Green Wall, also known as a green facade or vertical garden, is a type of structure that incorporates live plants and vegetation into a wall or other vertical surface. These walls are designed to provide several environmental and aesthetic benefits, such as improving air quality, reducing noise pollution, and enhancing the visual appeal of the surrounding space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SemperGreenwall is a unique modular green wall system made of pre-cultivated Flexipanels, which can be used for both indoor and outdoor purposes. The Cradle-to-Cradle certificate demonstrates our commitment to sustainable design practices. The SemperGreenwall contributes to the score for LEED in both new and existing buildings, always in combination with a set of other measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, a SemperGreenwall can contribute to a building’s LEED certification by improving the indoor air quality, reducing the building’s heat island effect, and promoting biodiversity. The use of a living green wall system such as SemperGreenwall can also help to reduce energy consumption by providing natural insulation, and reduce water consumption by capturing and reusing rainwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
