LEED Point Chart

At MBCI, we take LEED project documentation seriously and issue only project-specific documentation for USGBC submittals, so please contact your sales representative for LEED documentation on existing contracts.

LEED Point Chart

At MBCI, we take sustainability seriously, and MBCI metal products can contribute to several credits in LEED® rating systems. The following chart includes a brief summary of possible credits that can be pursued if using MBCI metal products on your new construction project.

Metal Building Credit Guide for LEED® v4 – New Construction

Credit Name	Number of Points²	Contribution
SS Credit Heat Island Reduction	Up to 2	Several available colors for MBCI roofing products meet the high-reflectance roof SRI requirements for low slope (Initial SRI 82) and steep slope (>2:12) roofs (Initial SRI 39)
EA Credit Optimize Energy Performance	Up to 18	By utilizing MBCI cool roof colors² and insulated metal panels in your design, you can reduce external energy loads and downsize HVAC equipment to optimize your building’s energy performance
MR Credit Environmental Product Declarations	Up to 2	MBMA industry-wide EPDs are available for Primary Structural Steel Frame Components, Secondary Structural Steel Frame Components, and Roll Formed Metal Wall and Roof Panels
MR Credit Sourcing of Raw Materials	Up to 2	Steel has a LEED® approved default of 25% recycled content³

NOTES:

LEED® requirements are based on all materials under the project contract, of which the metal building is only a portion. Actual requirements may not be achieved once all materials are considered. Credit values shown on this table reflect those available, not necessarily those that are earned for a given project.
The use of cool roof colors may not be allowed in the energy code used for your project. In colder climates, darker roof colors may result in optimal energy performance. Consult your design professional for local requirements and guidance.
Many steel products contain 90% or higher recycled content if manufactured by the electric arc furnace process, so it may be beneficial to obtain actual information from the manufacturer rather than relying on the default value.
