At absolutely no time during the production process does Copaco® lose
sight of the environment.
Via green electricity and ecological installations, Copaco® contributes
to an environmentally-friendly and low- energy production process.
But the end products also save energy. Using the sun screen fabric means
significant savings on air conditioning, resulting in lower CO2 emissions and
thus a better environment.
Copaco® delivers a reliable assurance that the products contain no harmful
materials.
More and more companies are feeling the need to opt for sustainable
projects for new builds or renovations. And with a sustainability certificate,
they can facilitate this complex process. Over 65.000 buildings have been
LEED certified worldwide. LEED is the counterpart of BREEAM in the United
States.

LEED Certification stands for Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design. It is the accepted benchmark for the design,
construction, and operation of high performance green buildings.
Certification assures that a building project is environmentally responsible,
profitable, and a healthy place to work.
The LEED certification process uses a point system to determine the
environmental merits of a building; there are different rating systems for
homes, commercial buildings, interior renovations, schools, neighborhood
developments, and other construction projects.
For most projects, there are four levels of LEED certification, depending on
how many points the project has earned: certified, silver, gold or platinum.
There are seven key areas measured by LEED:• Sustainable Sites • Innovation in Design• Energy and Atmosphere • Regional Priority• Materials and Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality• Water Efficiency
Copaco®’s fabrics can contribute to 12 points for LEED 2009 New Construction & Major Renovations certificate, which increases permanently the
value of the building project.
