Workspaces
- Studies have shown that the light that passed through the
retina in our eye affects our moods, behavior, and overall
health.
- More light= more biological functions= more melatonin hormone
produced in blood that influences sleep & waking.
- However, managing the negative effects such as glare &
solar gain must be managed.

Credit 1Optimize Energy Performance
-
- The intent of this section is to achieve energy performance
above the prerequisite standards to reduce environmental impacts
associated with excessive energy use.
-
- Products with thermal reduction characteristics such as
GreenScreen reflective fabrics, Duette honeycomb fabrics, specific
horizontal blind slats, etc. which reduce the energy use of air
conditioning systems. Credits are available for as little as a 5%
reduction in measurable energy usage.
32. EQ Credit 4.2Low-Emitting Materials: Paints and Coatings
-
- The intent of this section is to reduce the quantity of indoor
air contaminants.
-
- GreenScreen PVC-free sun screen fabric contains no VOCs and
requires no off gassing commonly associated with traditional roller
shades. All paints used to coat aluminum and or steel components
used in the manufacturing of our contract products are lead free as
described by federal law.
33. EQ Credit 7.1Thermal Comfort: Compliance with ASHRAE
55-1992
-
- Comply with thermal, humidity and air control standards
outlined in ASHRAE 55 1992.
- This credit is available to buildings that regulate the above
with 90% acceptability limits in both mechanically and naturally
ventilated spaces. Window covering devices are potential
solutions
34. EQ Credit 8.1 Daylight and Views: Daylight 75% of Spaces
-
- Provide the building occupants a connection between indoor
spaces and outdoors through the introduction of daylight into the
regularly occupied areas of the building.
-
- Both external and internal shading/ window covering devices are
potential solutions.

Sustainable Silk:
- Silk is hand woven in India using individual family weavers
that we are directly supporting. Mulberry leaves that are fed to
the silkworms, are organically fertilized with compost from Neem
trees. Fabrics are made on hand made wooden looms - some of which
are at least 100 years
- old. No electrical energy is used in the
- spinning, weaving or dyeing process,
- leaving a zero carbon foot print.
39. Green Upholstery Fabrics:
- Kravet Green Collection is made of 100% recycled polyester.
Recycled polyester is a unique blend of post-industrial and
post-consumer fibers. These fabrics are woven and treated with no
additional chemicals. During the finishing process, water based
products and environmentally approved dyes are used. After years of
enjoyable use, these fabrics are recyclable.
40. Cradle to Cradle Certified
- Xorel fabrics has earned the Cradle to Cradle Silver Level
Certification. This means that this upholstery fabric met certain
criteria such as: design for material reuse and recycling;
efficient use of energy and water throughout production; and
instituting strategies for social responsibility.
41. Natural Latex Foam
- Natural Latex Foam is made from the rubber tree, (Hevea
brasiliensis) and is the most durable cushioning material on the
market today.
- Natural Latex Foams are also the perfect Sustainable choice. It
is100%free of any polyurethane polyols.
