06.08.2009 L.E.E.D. eligible ventilation solutions for the food service industryHalton, the leading authority in foodservice ventilation technologies and innovations, offers products that exceed the requirements of current energy standards for commercial and institutional kitchens. Halton’s approach to ventilation designs is green conscious and focuses on total optimization of the energy consumption of the HVAC system. It improves well being of occupants and maximizes their productivity by improving indoor environmental quality. When Halton’s products are integrated with the HVAC system, they offer synergies for achieving maximum energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality for the building. When pursuing approvals in accordance to ASHRAE standard 90.1 or going beyond to LEED certification, the synergies of Halton products translate to meeting or exceeding the requirements, and contribute to credits and points under the LEED rating system. Under LEED certification, the credit compliance and points fall under two of the six categories of the LEED rating system, namely: Energy and Atmosphere (EA) and Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ). Employing Halton’s food service technologies can contribute credit status when pursuing LEED certification for buildings. These technologies include Halton’s Capture Jet Technology, M.A.R.V.E.L. Demand Control Ventilation and Displacement Ventilation. Other Halton solutions for commercial and public buildings can also contribute to your projects LEED certification.

LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. LEED is flexible enough to apply to all building types – commercial as well as residential. It works throughout the building lifecycle – design and construction, operations and maintenance, tenant fitout, and significant retrofit. And LEED for Neighborhood Development extends the benefits of LEED beyond the building footprint into the neighborhood it serves.
