Permatron’s PreVent® air filters can help your building achieve certification through the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Rating System by contributing to the fol­lowing credits:

Energy and Atmosphere (EA) — Credit 1:

Optimize Energy Performance

Intent: To achieve increasing levels of energy performance be­yond the prerequisite standard to reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with excessive energy use.

How PreVent filters are consistent with this Intent: PreVent® air filters provide facility managers with an easily maintained, reuseable, highly efficient means of ensur­ing optimum HVAC equipment efficiency by preventing condenser fins, coils, and air intake grills from become clogged and inefficient, thereby eliminating potential ex­cessive HVAC equipment energy use.

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) — Credit 5:

Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control

Intent: To minimize building occupant exposure to poten­tially hazardous particulates and chemical pollutants.

How PreVent filters are consistent with this Intent: PreVent® air filters serve as a first line of defense against any pollutants in outside air being brought into a building. These filters reduce the amount of pollutants that reach indoor HVAC equipment filters, freeing up these filters to capture other particulates and extending their useful life.

Innovation & Design (ID) — Credit 1:

Innovation in Design

Intent: To provide design teams and projects the oppor­tunity to achieve exceptional performance above the requirements set by the LEED Green Building Rating System and/or innovative performance in Green Building categories not specifically addressed by the LEED Green Building Rating System.

How PreVent filters are consistent with this Intent: The benefits of PreVent® air filters transcend the current defi­nitions of LEED credits by providing improved energy ef­ficiency and reduced indoor pollutant levels by means of a technology that is not specifically listed in the require­ment of each credit. Benefits related to each credit listed above can be quantified using laboratory testing data and historical energy savings records.
