R-MAX ECO-MAX FOAM BOARD
A rigid foam plastic thermal insulation board, Eco-Max contains a minimum of 8% renewable content. It is suitable for use in walls and limited roofing applications in thermal retrofit construction, as well as in new residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial buildings. Also noteworthy is the fact Eco-Max is available in thicknesses from 0.75” to 3” and in several lengths, including custom lengths within manufacturing limits. The insulation can be applied to the exterior or interior face of wood or metal studs to cover all studs, sills, plates, and header constructions. When used on the inside face of walls, Eco-Max must be covered by an approved thermal barrier. The product qualifies for contributions toward LEED building credit.

DALTILE GREENWORKS NATURAL STONE TILES AND SLABS
Daltile markets its natural stone tile and slab products by touting the direct impact their use has on how many points a project may get toward LEED certification. In the latest version 2.2 LEED Survey, Daltile’s ceramic tiles fall into the materials and resources and indoor environmental quality categories. More specifically, there are potentially anywhere from one to six points available based on the volume of recycled material content, and the proximity of their manufacture to the construction site. Daltilile has modified its operations and processes in order to recover and recycle waste water, waste glazes, and some unfired scrap materials.

AO SMITH ATI-520H-N TANKLESS WATER HEATER
This tankless heater features expanded residential and commercial line ranging from 140,000 BTU to 380,000 BTU and increased flow rates up to 14.5 gpm. Condensing models feature the highest efficiency and utilize PVC venting. All residential models are ENERGY STAR-qualified and eligible for a $1,500 federal tax credit. The primary heat exchanger is constructed of HRS 35 copper, which is stronger than standard copper and more resilient against erosion. Also providing protection against corrosion is a secondary heat exchanger made of type 316L stainless steel. The heater has low NOx emissions and complies with the lead plumbing law. Its safety features include an air-fuel ration sensor, exhaust and water temperature safety control, and an overheat cutoff fuse. For intake and exhaust, the ATI-520H-N uses inexpensive PVC, CPVC, or ABS pipe, with a 4” pipe venting up to 50 equivalent feet and a 3” pipe venting up to 25 equivalent feet.

BELGARD ECO DUBLIN PERMEABLE PAVERS
As part of a bio-aquifer storm water system, Belgard Environmental permeable pavers can virtually eliminate runoff, potentially eliminating the need for retention ponds or underground sewer pipes. Its latest addition to the line, Subterra Stone, features a false joint structure that offers the elegant look of chiseled stone, yet is easy to install. The stone’s 9.5% void ratio allows storm water to naturally drain into native soils, and its 13 different false joint patterns lend it the look of natural cobblestone. It’s available in six different natural-looking face textures. Like all interlocking concrete paver solutions, Subterra Stone offers the design team and client durability, long-term strength, and lower life-cycle costs. In addition, its use contributes toward LEED certification.
