A better environment will create a happier child who can prosper and go on to do great things. As a global leader in architectural aluminum solutions, Kawneer has an extensive product portfolio that can protect, improve and enable schools to optimize efficiency.
The education sector is one of Kawneer’s primary building sectors, with a variety of Kawneer’s architectural aluminum systems offering thermal performance and durability while allowing natural light and uninterrupted views. Kawneer’s solutions help create learning spaces that are comfortable, healthy and conducive to learning.
Our Sustainability in K-12 Product Portfolio is available.
Kawneer is dedicated to reducing its impact on the environment by using sustainable products. Our aluminum has a minimum of 50% mixed pre- and post-consumer recycled content and rest of the primary aluminum is sourced from a hydroelectric smelter, and we monitor the effects the whole product lifecycle has on the world around us.
We provide complete product transparency to architects and designers through a range of industry standards. From Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Kawneer Material Transparency Summaries (MTS) to Cradle to Cradle Certified® Products Program and Declare labels, we care about how our products shape the learning environment of generations to come.
Our latest EPD renewal has confirmed that over the last five years, we have lowered our carbon footprint across all product lifecycles. We have processed two new Declare Labels for our 1620 and 1620UT Curtain Wall Systems disclosing them to be Red List Free.
We will continue to deliver value-engineered solutions for the education sector and empower architects and designers to imagine sustainable buildings that reduce energy, cost and impact on the world around us.
Few materials offer the flexibility to create the ambitious design projects that aluminum can. Offering unparalleled natural light and heat management, Kawneer systems can supplement HVAC and artificial lighting systems to create sustainable, self-sufficient buildings with a lower total operating cost.
We provide recycled billet for your project-specific design needs. Combined with smart designs, Kawneer is committed to bringing schools toward a more sustainable future.
Almost 75% of aluminum produced in North America is still in use today and can be fully recycled over and over again in a true closed loop.
Aluminum more than pays for itself, both environmentally and economically. With demand continuing to skyrocket and recycling saving more than 90% of energy versus producing new metal, nearly 40% of the North American aluminum supply is now created following this process.
Transparency continues to be important in the materials we specify. That’s why Kawneer North America has taken the initiative to assess the environmental impact of its products. We offer Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Kawneer Material Transparency Summaries (MTS), as well as DECLARE labels for our most sustainable and popular products.
Our 1600 Wall System®1 and 1600 Wall System®2 Curtain Wall, Versoleil® SunShade Outrigger Systems and Versoleil® Single Blade Systems are Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronze. They have also earned a Silver-level Material Health Certificate from the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.
