APA-L PID Panel from Duct Excel LEED CertificationV4 and V4.1 BETA
We are committed to invent and produce quality products. APA-L PID Panel from Duct Excel has received LEED V4 and V4.1 BETA certification from leading organizations USGBC in the category “Low-Emitting Materials”. Our product has been tested by the EUROFINS laboratory and meets standards made from materials that contain Low Volatile Organic Compounds, both in the amount of substances released into the atmosphere and in the products that are good for construction and sustainable living. It helps create fresh air and makes it environmentally friendly for everyone's good health, which increases LEED Certification scores in the Materials & Resources category.
What is a LEED Certified Building?
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the world's leading green building rating system. LEED provides a framework for developing healthy, efficient, carbon- and cost-saving buildings that correspond with varying levels of LEED certification.
A building is LEED-certified once it has achieved a certain number of credits by implementing green building practices that address carbon, energy, water usage, waste, transportation, materials, health and indoor environmental quality, according to the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
LEED Certification V4.1 and V4.1 BETA
LEED takes a full building approach to sustainability and evaluates how green a building performs in the v4.1 and v4.1 beta LEED categories that incentivize maximizing sustainability features to benefit tenants. The latest version of LEED, v4.1 & v4.1 beta, raises the bar on these building standards to address energy efficiency, water conservation, site selection, material selection, daylighting, and waste reduction.
What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)?
Volatile organic compounds are compounds that have high vapor pressure and low water solubility. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products, numbering in the thousands. Examples include paints, lacquers, and building materials. LEED evaluation criteria therefore place great importance on this type of substance.
Environments Effects
VOCs can vaporize. It spreads well in the air, water, and soil, which affects the overall ecosystem, such as
1. The smog problem Destroys ozone in the atmosphere.
2. The quality of the soil has decreased. Growing plants is more difficult than before.
3. Surface and underground water contamination occurred.
4. The ecosystem is out of balance. The tree grows slowly or dies.

Health Effects
When entering the body or being inhaled, it affects the body and long-term health. It causes respiratory problems and irritation symptoms in various parts, including the eyes and skin, and increases the risk of cancer. It also affects the immune system.
