Green Building Labels Set Standards Worldwide

Climate Protection also Applies to Buildings. Green Building Labels are Guidelines for Environmentally Friendly Construction.

These certification systems provide worldwide benchmarks and parameters for the development and planning of ecologically efficient buildings.

Labels such as LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB not only offer tailor-made certificates for various project requirements and building uses but also record the minimum requirements for environmental compatibility of construction products in a checklist system.

Coating Systems from IGP Powder Coatings

We contribute to this concept of sustainability in multiple ways and at different levels:

  • Avoidance of toxic or environmentally harmful substances
  • Complete avoidance of solvent-based dispersing agents
  • Coating systems with efficient cross-linking behavior
  • Quality monitoring based on lifetimes of the buildings
  • Preference for regional suppliers to reduce gray energy
  • Furthest possible avoidance of scarce raw and basic materials
