Chase Doors’ contribution to
sustainable construction and
LEED® Credits

World’s Leading Manufacturer of Specialty Doors

According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED® (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certifi cation system.
LEED lays out a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable
green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. It also promotes

sustainable building and development practices through rating systems that recognize

projects that implement strategies for better environmental and health performance.

Table MRc4-1. Summary for Recycled Content

• Sustainable criteria value of postconsumer + 1/2 preconsumer recycled
content.

• Recycled content value as a percentage of total materials cost - Must

be at least 10% for 1 point, 20% for 2 points, 30% for exemplary
performance.

• Percentage of MRc4 materials with cutsheets provided (by cost) - Must be
at least 20% to document credit compliance.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE:

• If you have an 84” x 84” EcoSwing Door

• The standard 9” x 14” recycled window

• Total recycled content is 78% (74% post-consumer, 4% pre-consumer)

Based on product cost, approximately $75 out of every $100 of the
purchase price would contribute to LEED Credits!

• Sustainable criteria value of materials manufactured and extracted/
harvested/recovered within 500 miles.

THE CHASE ECOSWING WILL CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR LEED CREDITS IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

LEED MR Credit 4 – Recycled Content:

Materials that contain both pre-consumer and/or post-consumer
recycled content will contribute towards LEED credits. Recycled
content is calculated based on the amount of recycled material in
the product, either from a product weight or product cost standpoint
(varies by project). For any pre-consumer recycled material content,
you will receive 50% of recycled dollar value of the door, but for post­consumer recycled material content, you will receive the full 100% of
the recycled value.

LEED MR Credit 5 –
Regional Materials:
Extracted, Processed
and Manufactuerd:

The EcoSwing would
contribute to this credit,
if your project is within 500
miles of the Chase Doors
factory in Cincinnati, OH.
