with FHP's geothermal heat pumps.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) developed with LEED an internationally recognized green building certification system. The voluntary LEED certification of any building (residential and commercial) in any lifecycle phase verifies that the building was designed and build by improving the performance of the most important criteria today, like the increase of energy savings, better water efficiency, the reduction of CO2 emissions and the improvement of indoor environmental quality.
(LEED v3)
LEED for commercial interiors
LEED for existing building
LEED for new construction
LEED for core and shell
LEED for schools
LEED for Health care
LEED for Retail
LEED for Homes
For example, LEED for new construction covers five weighted key areas with a maximum of 100 points + 10 bonus points.
A project must satisfy all defined prerequisites and earn a minimum number of points to be certified with a minimum of 40 points.
with FHP's technology
The section Energy & Atmoshpere + Indoor Environmental Quality are responsible alone for almost 50% of the total points.Therefore, FHP's efficient geothermal heat pumps for heating and cooling installed in any building result in a substantial contribution to the increase of LEED points and bring you a huge step towards a LEED certification for your project. Our newest MERV filter technology, R-410A refrigerant, innovative controls and features for the IAQ management can account for up to 15 to 20% of the maximum LEED points. A commercial project equipped with FHP's water source heat pumps can provide approximately 23 possible LEED points.
You can even go beyond that level by adding the innovative Buderus Solar technology and Bosch Tankless Water Heaters for efficient hot water supply. Our efficient and environmental friendly products for retrofit or new construction will bring you a huge step closer to the desirable green building with LEED certification.

Please consult your nearest FHP sales representative or any LEED certified professional for a detailed analysis on your project.
