For construction projects targeting popular green building certifications EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is a material that can make a very positive contribution to meeting sustainability and energy efficiency requirements. First of all the excellent thermal insulation performance of EPS Cement Sandwich Panel significantly reduces the total heating and cooling energy consumption of the entire building. This directly helps projects earn points for energy efficiency which is one of the largest sections in most green building certification systems. The panel is manufactured using a large proportion of recycled raw materials including fly ash which is an industrial byproduct that would otherwise be sent to landfills. This reduces the overall environmental impact of the material and helps projects meet requirements for recycled content in building materials. EPS Cement Sandwich Panel does not contain any harmful asbestos formaldehyde or volatile organic compounds and it will not release any toxic substances into indoor air. This helps the project earn points for indoor environmental quality which is another key requirement for green building certification. The lightweight nature of the panel reduces the total amount of concrete and steel required for the building structure which lowers the overall embodied carbon of the entire construction project. The long service life of the panel and its low maintenance requirements also help improve the long term sustainability performance of the building. A large number of LEED BREEAM and local green certified building projects around the world have already successfully used EPS Cement Sandwich Panel to help them achieve their sustainability certification targets.
