The following table illustrates areas where we can help you achieve LEED Accreditation

LEED® Stanley Elevator can help you achieve LEED Credits.

LEED Accreditation
CATEGORY	CREDIT	DESCRIPTION	INTENT	WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU
Energy & Atmosphere	Prerequisite 1 Required	Fundamental Commissioning of the Building Energy Systems	Verify and ensure that fundamental building elements and systems are designed, installed and calibrated to operate as intended.	Stanley’s services and the products we can provide will help you meet commissioning requirements.
	Prerequisite 2 Required	Minimum Energy Performance	Establish the minimum level of energy efficiency for the base building and system.	We constantly strive to provide products and service with the highest level of energy-efficient performance. We will work with you to analyze energy efficiency for your elevators.
	Credit 1 1-10 Points	Optimize Energy Performance	Achieve increasing levels of energy performance above baseline minimums established in ASHRAE 90.1-2004 to reduce environmental impacts associated with excessive energy use.	Our Sales Department is able to help you calculate how the elevator contributes to the whole building energy savings as a non-regulated system.
Materials & Resources	Credit 2 1-2 Points	Construction Waste Management	Divert construction/demolition debris from incinerators and landfills	We can comply with any Waste Management Plan established on a project. We use suppliers that package equipment efficiently to minimize waste.
	Credit 3	Materials Reuse	Reuse building materials and products to reduce demand for new material	Elevators are specifically excluded from this credit.
	Credit 4 1-2 Points	Recycled Content	Increase demand for products that contain recycled content, thus reducing impacts from extracting new materials.	Elevators are specifically excluded from this credit, but we install equipment that is 95% recyclable.
	Credit 7 1-2 Points	Certified Wood	Encourage environmentally responsible forest management through the use of FSC-certified wood.	We can offer wood paneling for the elevator cab or base platform that is made from FSC-certified wood.
Indoor Environmental Quality	Prerequisite Required	Minimum IAQ Performance	Establish minimum indoor air quality performance to enhance indoor air quality in buildings, thus contributing to the comfort and well-being of installers and occupants.	We avoid using volatile organic compounds (VOC) that can negatively impact indoor air quality.
	Credit 3 1 point	Construction IAQ Management Plan- During Construction	Reduce indoor air quality problems resulting from the construction/ renovation process	We can comply and help implement any Indoor Air Quality plans established on a project.
	Credit 4 1-4 Points	Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control	Reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous, irritating and/or harmful to the comfort and well-being of installers and occupants.	We can use suppliers that provide low-level VOC adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, carpet systems, and composite wood and agri-fiber products.
Innovation & Design Process	Credit 2 1 Point	LEED Accredited Professional	To support and encourage the design integration required by a LEED-NC green building project and to streamline the application and certification process.	We have a LEED Accredited Professional on staff and plan to have more team members accredited in the near future. Our LEED Accredited Professional is always available and willing to “support and encourage the design integration” as called for by this credit.
