LEED Points Using StabiliGrid Green Roofs, Porous Pavers, Roadways and Streets, Parking Lots, and more

Credit 5.1 Reduced Site Disturbance (Protect or Restore Open Space)

Porous Paving using = less grading for drainage and protect existing vegetation

Tree Root Protection = fill and/or park over major tree roots

Reusability = portable and reusable, no permanent structure.

Wildlife habitat protection = designated path for reduced wildlife disturbance.

Credit 5.2 Reduced Site Disturbance (Development Footprint)

Slope Stabilization = steep vegetated slopes

Preservation of natural groundcover/appearance = visual lawn, functional traffic surface

Credit 6.1 Stormwater Management (Rate or Quantity)

Porous Paving = direct infiltration (quantity)

Porous Paving = direct storage in cross-section (quantity)

Porous Paving = slows speed of surface flow (rate)

Slowing horizontal migration (subsurface runoff) - short or long term subsurface storage (quantity)

Credit 6.2 Stormwater Management (Treatment)

Porous Paving= natural "bio-filter treatment" of pollutants otherwise contained in SWR

Site Mitigation = bio-swale for capture, conveyance, and treatment

When incorporated with infiltration trenching = capture and convey treated water below surface to storage, or spilling into an acceptable surface structure (infiltration pond)

Credit 7.1 Landscape and Exterior Design to Reduce Heat Islands (Non-Roof)

When using light-colored backfill medium = albedo number of 0.16 (light color stone fill)

When using natural grass surface = albedo number of 0.40 (grass fill - color and water transpiration)

Credit 7.1 Landscape and Exterior Design to Reduce Heat Islands (Roof)

Greenroof = vegetated green roof surface

Water Efficiency Credit:

Credit 1.1 Water Efficient Landscaping (Reduce by 50%)

Source Rain Runoff and GrayWater - 50%+

Porous Paving = maintain rainfall to existing vegetation roots

Credit 2 Innovative Wastewater Technologies

Using StabiliGrid above significant riprap/drain rock- essentially "doubling up" the advantages of preventing and/or reducing SWR during normal rainfall events; while providing an "underground storage" for runoff from adjacent buildings.

Materials and Resources:

Credit 3.1 and 3.2 Resource Reuse, Specify 5% to 10%

Preserve and/or reuse existing trees and shrubs found on-site

Porous Paving = greater flexibility in grading and filling above existing roots

Compaction Prevention = provide oxygen access to roots below deep fill layers

Slope stabilization/vegetation = revegetate steep slopes and roofs

Credit 4.1 and 4.2 Recycled Content, Specify 25% to 50%

All of StabiliGrid/HomeGrid/VersiGrid products are manufactured using 100% recycled PE

100% Recycled Content

100% Recyclable Content

Energy & Atmosphere Credits

Credit 1.1-1.5 Optimize Energy Performance,20-60% New/10-50% Existing

Gravel roadways = Reduce solar reflection to south side of buildings

Grass roadways = Reduce solar reflection to south side of buildings

Greenroof = Vegetated Cool Roof, reduce heat gain

Innovation & Design Process

This category suggests that a story be presented to integrate all of the innovative applications and uses of ECO-TERR products and the resulting impact upon the project design and building use.

Example: REDUCED FUTURE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR and/or REPLACEMENT in areas subject to winter freeze/thaw cycles - due to ECO-TERR grids' insusceptibility to damage resulting therefrom . . .
