Green Building Certifications with Thuiseco’s Biobased Insulation

Thuiseco’s biobased insulation solutions help your project achieve prestigious green building certifications, such as BREEAM, LEED, Passivhaus, and DGNB, by enhancing energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and improving occupant health. These certifications are recognized across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and the UK, adding value to your property and demonstrating your commitment to sustainability.

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method): Our biobased materials, like EcoGrass and cellulose fiber insulation, contribute to credits in the Materials (Mat 01) and Energy (Ene 01) categories by using renewable resources and achieving U-values as low as 0.10 W/m²K for roofs. Thuiseco’s solutions help you earn a BREEAM “Excellent” or “Outstanding” rating.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): Earn points toward LEED certification with our biobased PUR foam and hemp fiber insulation, which qualify for credits in Sustainable Sites (SS), Energy and Atmosphere (EA), and Materials and Resources (MR). The low-VOC properties of our eco wool also support Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) credits.
Passivhaus: Achieve Passivhaus standards with our biobased PUR foam, which delivers an R-value of ~6.2 per inch, ensuring annual heating demands stay below 15 kWh/m². Our materials also provide airtightness (n50 ≤ 0.6 ACH) and moisture regulation, critical for Passivhaus certification.
DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council): In Germany, our biobased insulation supports DGNB certification by meeting criteria for ecological quality (ENV1.1 – Life Cycle Assessment) and technical quality (TEC1.2 – Deconstruction and Recycling). Our materials’ carbon-negative properties, like hemp fiber, boost your DGNB score.
