LEED

Using VentBoard™ and DuctBoard™ in your LEED Certified home can increase the LEED score by up to 21 points! VentBoard™ contributes in several ways:

VentBoard™ has been shown to reduce attic temperatures up to 15% which significantly reduces energy consumption for cooling in warmer climates. This reduction, depending on location and construction, could gain up to 12 points in the LEED calculation.

Installing VentBoard™ for roof sheathing ensures a ventilated roof and facilitates insulation of the roof plane which means the attic now is conditioned space or an “unvented attic”. This allows 3 points in the LEED calculation for placing ductwork in a conditioned space.

Due to its strength VentBoard™ is strong and able to span 48”, which increases the LEED score by spacing rafters more than 16” oc. Similarly, using VentBoard™ or DuctBoard™ for floors and ceilings can also gain points for more efficient use of framing members.

Up to 5 points can be obtained for innovation using VentBoard™ or DuctBoard™ – saving energy and utilizing efficient framing.
