SUSTAINABILITY & LEED
Make your building LEED certified
Daylight harvesting control can contribute toward LEED credits in several new
construction categories. Daylight autonomy can also contribute to LEED points. AXIS Gear can contribute to earning up to 15 out of the possible 110 LEED NC v4 points, within the following categories:
To minimize light trespass from the building and site, reduce sky-glow to increase night
sky access, improve nighttime visibility through glare reduction and reduce development
impact from lighting on nocturnal environments.
To achieve increasing levels of energy performance beyond the prerequisite standard to
reduce environmental and economic impacts associated with excessive energy use.
To provide a high level of thermal comfort system control by individual occupants or
groups in multi-occupant spaces (e.g. classrooms or conference areas) and promote
their productivity, comfort, and well-being.
To provide building occupants with a connection between indoor spaces and the
outdoors through the introduction of daylight and views into the regularly occupied
areas of the building.
