Sustainable Building: LEED the Way with Benkiser
Sustainability and environmental responsibility are becoming increasingly important in today’s world, especially in the construction and building sectors. Architects and developers are paying more attention to the environmental friendliness of materials and products used in their projects. One of the most recognized certification systems that plays a key role in this regard is LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. LEED assesses the environmental impact of buildings and promotes sustainable construction practices worldwide.
Benkiser, as a leading manufacturer of sanitary fittings, plays an important role in supporting environmentally friendly construction projects. Our products meet the high standards of LEED certification programs, helping our clients achieve sustainable building designs. In the following, we will highlight Benkiser’s LEED qualifications and explain how our fittings can contribute to obtaining LEED certification.
LEED is a globally recognized certification system for sustainable construction. It assesses building across several categories, including:
- Sustainable site development
- Water efficiency
- Energy and atmospere
- Materials and resources
- Indoor environmental quality
How do Benkiser fittings contribute to LEED certification?
Benkiser’s fittings are specifically designed to meet the demands for sustainability, efficiency and environmental responsibility. Below are key aspects where our products can help earn points in the LEED system:
Water Efficiency
Efficient water use is a major focus in the LEED system. Our water-saving fittings help significantly reduce water consumption in buildings. Benkiser’s sensor faucets allow precise control of water flow, minimizing waste. In commercial and public buildings, such solutions can lead to significant savings and contribute to LEED points in the Water Efficiency category.
Materials and Resources
Benkiser uses high-quality, durable materials in the production of its fittings. This not only ensures the longevity and robustness of the products but also reduces waste and conserves resources, which positively impacts the LEED score in the “Materials and Resources” category.
Energy Efficiency
Through the use of cutting-edge technology, our sensor faucets actively contribute to energy savings. Water flow and temperature can be regulated in a way that conserves not only water but also energy, significantly improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
Enhanced Indoor Environmental Quality
The health and well-being of building occupants are a key aspect of indoor environmental quality. Our fittings are designed to promote hygienic water usage, particularly through touchless technologies that prevent the spread of bacteria and germs. This helps create healthier environments, which are highly valued in the LEED system.

Conclusion
LEED certification is a valuable tool for promoting sustainable building practices that consider the entire lifecycle of a building. Benkiser’s fittings contribute to making construction projects worldwide more energy-efficient, water-saving, and environmentally conscious. Through our sustainable technologies and innovations, we help architects, planners, and developers achieve their environmental goals and earn valuable LEED points.
