ALPOLIC®/fr and LEEDS US Green Building Council
Mitsubishi Chemical Composites America, Inc. is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) which developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System™ . LEED is a green building conference that promotes the green building industry, including environmentally responsible materials, sustainable architecture techniques and public policy.
The use of ALPOLIC®/fr metal composite materials may contribute to the qualification for points in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification:
LUMIFLON-based Fluorocarbon system helps reduce Urban Heat Island Effect.
LUMIFLON- based Fluorocarbon (FEVE) coating system helps reflect sunlight, lead to energy conservation of buildings and reduces Urban Heat Island Effect.
Energy Saving for Production of ALPOLIC
Energy Saving for Production
It is known that aluminum metal requires a huge amount of energy in order to produce. ALPOLIC®/fr production uses less than half of the energy normally required compared to the solid aluminum sheet production. Additionally, ALPOLIC®/fr is as rigid as solid aluminum metal, and therefore serves the same function with less thickness
Energy saving for building
When ALPOLIC®/fr is used for external or internal cladding, the air space between ALPOLIC®/fr and backing wall forms a thermal insulation layer and increases the wall system's energy conservation performance.
ALPOLIC Effective Recycling
ALPOLIC®/fr materials are 100% recyclable. In the production plants of ALPOLIC®/fr, Aluminum (other metals) and the core material are recovered for recycling. Moreover, Mitsubishi Chemical Infratec, Japan production plants of ALPOLIC®/fr are approved of ISO 14001.
