Building a Greener Future: How Mitrex Products Help Achieve LEED and Other Green Certifications

Imagine a building that powers itself, looks stunning, and earns top sustainability credentials—all at once. In modern architecture, sustainability is no longer a bonus—it’s a benchmark. Architects, developers, and property owners face rising pressure to create spaces that prioritize energy efficiency, performance, and long-term environmental value. At Mitrex, our Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) solutions—like solar facades, glass, and railing systems—make this vision a reality, helping projects secure certifications like LEED, BREEAM, and WELL.

Whether you’re starting from the ground up or pursuing a BIPV retrofit, our solar-integrated facades, glass, and railing systems offer a high-impact, low-footprint way to elevate both form and function.

Solar Materials That Shine—And Certify

Mitrex BIPV systems—including solar cladding, solar glass, and SolaRail™—are engineered to deliver architectural beauty and clean energy in a single package. These multifunctional materials help building projects align with global standards in sustainable architecture while addressing core certification criteria like energy efficiency, environmental impact, and lifecycle transparency.

Powering Up LEED Certification

Mitrex products can contribute up to 41 points toward LEED v4.1 certification, depending on your project’s scope. Here’s how they align with key credit areas:

• Energy & Atmosphere: Our solar cladding cuts grid reliance, powering systems with on-site clean energy.
• Materials & Resources: Durable, low-emission designs reduce environmental strain over decades.
• Sustainable Sites: Reflective surfaces combat heat islands while boosting exterior performance.
• Innovation in Design: Exceed evolving standards with cutting-edge solar integration.

Backed by standards like ISO 14025 and EN 15804, Mitrex provides full Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to validate our sustainable manufacturing process—giving you the proof you need to certify with confidence.

Mitrex and Green Building Certification Compatibility

Buildings using Mitrex systems qualify for LEED, BREEAM, or WELL certification based on materials selection, energy performance, and overall sustainability criteria. Many are designed to meet or exceed the technical and operational thresholds required by these frameworks.

In addition to environmental benefits, these certifications can help unlock tax credits, energy-efficient building rebates, and green construction grants—while also contributing to increased property value and long-term return on investment. In an increasingly ESG-driven marketplace, sustainable buildings are not only better for the planet—they’re smarter business.

Integrated Solutions, Seamless Documentation

To support teams working toward certification, Mitrex offers a complete suite of documentation, including:

• Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)

• Performance datasheets

• LEED and BREEAM compatibility information

• Installation guides and maintenance manuals

These tools are designed to help streamline project approvals, accelerate construction timelines, and meet evolving regulatory demands for net-zero architecture and green building certifications.

Designed for Tomorrow’s Cities

Mitrex materials shine in new builds and retrofits alike—especially in urban hubs where vertical space and aesthetics matter most. Picture a commercial high-rise with solar facades generating power or a mid-rise residence upgraded with SolaRail™ for efficiency and style. Our systems blend solar performance, aesthetic customization, and certification-ready documentation into one seamless package.
