LEED counts for shade

F

abric shade systems can contribute to a
LEED calculation for energy efficiency,
materials, quality of environment and other
areas of the LEED system. Total points can
range from 1 to 18, depending on category and
stacking categories.

CATEGORIES
ENERGY & ATMOSPHERE
* Required shading devices can optimize energy
usage and reduce heat gain and heat island effects.
Keep in mind:
Interior shading combined with low-e glass fenestration can
produce 13 percent reduction in heat gain. This assumes SHGC
is E Screen 3 percent Charcoal/ Charcoal colors. Different fabrics
will have different effects on SHGC percent improvement.
Exterior shading, with standard double pane windows can
produce up to 84 percent reduction in heat gain. The key is to
stop the sun from hitting the glass or heat will conduct into the
interior and then dissipate to inside air, loosing the maximum
advantage of a shading system. Maximum efficiency requires
fully integrated and automated shading devices that respond
actively to changing atmospheric conditions.
MATERIALS & RESOURCES
* Fabric shading materials can count toward Materials &
Resource calculations because many fabrics are produced in
sustainable ways, and/or made from recycled materials.
* When going for LEED certification, shade fabrics
can be submitted for HPD disclosure.*
INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
* Thermal comfort can be improved with exterior shading
devices and lend individual control of interior spaces.
* Glare reduction can be realized from shading (both interior and
exterior) and daylighting control for optimized exterior views.

SHADE Industries Inc., Phoenix, Ariz., was awarded a 2019 International
Achievement Award for Outstanding Excellence for a cantilevered
GORILLABrella (permanent umbrella) over a lounge area in the
back patio of a private residence in Peoria, Ariz. This structure is
approximately 14 feet wide by 16 feet deep, offers a 10 foot opening
height, and provides roughly 215 square feet of shade.

* The HPD Open Standard is a standard specification--composed of
a format and instructions-for the accurate, reliable and consistent
reporting of product contents and associated health information, for
products used in the built environment. -Health Product Declaration®
