While certification schemes continue to push green building towards the industry standard, their latest versions go far beyond energy efficiency. Newer LEED® ‘materials and resources’ credits incentivize project teams who source environmentally responsible products, while the BREEAM® ‘health and wellbeing’ category has focused attention on the origins, worker safety and indoor environmental quality of the construction materials we use. In other words, even though it's still the building that's certified – not the products within – construction materials now have a decisive role to play in any sustainable building.
Every product helps: from anchors to firestop, Hilti is actively re-engineering and re-formulating building components according to green certification criteria. We have removed hazardous substances, minimized emissions, increased recycled content and sourced raw materials responsibly.
This new generation of healthier, greener construction materials would be nothing without the third-party proof of their sustainability credentials. Read on to see how advice and easy-to-find documentation – VOC emission certs, Cradle2Cradle MHCs, EPDs and everything in between – give you a streamlined path to green building certification.
How can you recognize a 'green' construction material? For lumber, you have the Forest Stewardship Council. For steel, you can start with the recycled content. For everything else, you need third-party certifications.
Above all, these third-party certifications offer transparency: proof that the supply chain and product lifecycle support sustainable construction, whether you need them for certification or not. Hilti carries out tests to measure the environmental impact of our construction supplies on an ongoing basis. This has created a comprehensive database of supporting documentation. The following files, and many more, are available on request:
So that you can continue to deliver uncompromisingly healthier, sustainable architecture without losing time on paperwork, key product certifications and declarations are available from a single source: the Hilti Technical Document Download Center. If the exact certificate you need is not yet available, simply check with your Account Manager or Field Engineer.
LEED® credits
for healthy and environmentally friendly products
BREEAM® points
for indoor air quality, EPD and responsible sourcing
WELL® credit points
for material safety and transparency
DGNB® points
for safe chemicals and indoor air quality
In practical terms, the new emphasis on material sourcing and transparency means that every credit demands even more supporting documentation. Hilti has partnered with Architects, Designers, Building Owners and Contractors worldwide to help shoulder the burden of disclosure requirements for every major green building scheme.
Just as the right tool can make light work of any task, green building materials are all about finding a workable match between spec and product. Contact your local Hilti Account Manager for project-specific advice or to request custom documentation.
Transparency builds trust
Getting a building certified is a great way to signal to potential clients, future building owners and your staff that you take healthy, sustainable working conditions seriously. Certification shows that your green design decisions have been independently verified – making the building procurement process much more transparent.
With this transparency comes a considerable amount of paperwork. Point- or credits-based sustainable building schemes, such as LEED®, BREEAM® and DGNB®, depend on the evidence you gather and submit. This is a time-consuming and error-prone task. Your Hilti Account Manager is on hand to streamline the process. Here's an overview of the documents which Hilti can provide and the certification schemes to which they can contribute.

The Lakhta Center was record-breaking in many ways – the world’s largest cold-bent façade by area, largest continuous concrete pour and Europe’s tallest office building. To deliver this megaproject with LEED® Gold certification, it took inventive solutions to unique problems. The first challenge was sustainable passive fire protection. Hilti stepped in to arrange testing by local certification bodies to show that CFS-SP SIL silicone sealant and HAC cast-in anchor channels can deliver the required spec, including the EI 240 fire rating. Documentation was then provided for each product's environmental and health-related properties which can contribute to the LEED® Gold certification. © 2018 Lakhta Center Multifunctional Complex
Krøyers Plads is a mixed-use complex in the historic center of Copenhagen. Green inside and out, construction had to follow the especially high sustainability standards of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. Hilti Field Engineers and Account Managers worked closely with the developer and architects to find a suitably green injectable mortar. Their on-site support, technical calculations and documentation supported the selection of Hilti HIT-CT 1 injectable adhesive anchor. The MAL code of 00-3 further attests to the greener, healthier formulation – signifying that only minimal protective measures are necessary on-site. Apart from the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the project also had to live up to the Danish BR 15 energy regulations. Photo © Rasmus Hjortshøj, Krøyers Plads, Copenhagen by COBE.
