KABA MAS LEED INFORMATION STATEMENT

Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy, the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system is a voluntary standard for developing environmentally responsible, low-emission, high-performance, sustainable buildings.

Kaba Mas is committed to environmentally based, responsible practices in the manufacture of our Kaba and LA GARD range of safe and container locking systems. It is however, important to note that no product gets awarded a "LEED" certification. Instead, products contribute towards a design that achieves points in a given category, ultimately leading to the certification of the entire construction project. The USGBC has developed several products – LEED-NC (New Construction), LEED-EB (Existing Building), LEED-CI (Commercial Interiors) and LEED-S (for Schools).

The categories where points may accumulate for Kaba Mas products are:

MR Credit 5.1: Regional Materials: 10% Extracted, Processes & Manufactured Regionally 1 Point

Use building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured within 500 miles of the project site.

MR Credit 5.2: Regional Materials: 20% Extracted, Processes & Manufactured Regionally 1 Point in addition to MR Credit 5.1

Use building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well as manufactured within 500 miles of the project site for an additional 10% beyond MR Credit 5.1 (total of 20%).
