Leed ®

The Clayton Companies have taken our reputation for product design and development to a greener level, in helping you to attain LEED® Green Building Certification through the use of environmentally aligned concrete and block materials complementary to the traditional, non-recycled products in your integrated design. We understand the importance of successfully achieving a viable integrated design and are striving to produce the materials which best fit that dynamic on a multitude of levels. We are achieving this by developing materials through a combination of research, technology and experience. Our products have been created to satisfy the environmentally conditional building requirements of LEED®, while maintaining a high level of flexibility in their applications.

Clayton concrete and block products relate specifically to the following LEED credits:

  • SSc7.1: Landscape & Exterior Design to Reduce Heat Islands (Sustainable Sites Credits)
  • EAc1: Optimize Energy Performance (Energy & Atmosphere Credits)
  • MRc4: Recycled Content (Materials & Resources Credits)
  • MRc5: Local/Regional Materials (Materials & Resources Credits)
  • Dc1: Innovation in Design (Innovation & Design Process Credits)

Use of these products can help you obtain credits toward LEED Certification.

Concrete

Produced throughout the State of New Jersey, Clayton concrete mixes contain flyash, a post-industrial, recycled material contributing to MRc4. Since the use of concrete is regional, project teams using this product will likely be located within 500 miles of where the concrete is manufactured and extracted, thus contributing to MRc5. Using concrete can also help earn SSc7.1 because concrete is a high-albedo material.

Grey Block

A high post-consumer recycled content, consisting of recovered block and concrete, makes Clayton grey block a unique product, contributing to MRc4. In New Jersey, Clayton grey block is manufactured at these plants: Saddle Brook, North Arlington, Bayonne, Edison, Belmar/Wall, Lakewood and Barnegat. The materials are extracted in Edison, Belmar, Lakewood and Jackson, NJ, as well as Lehigh Valley, PA. Using grey block can help earn both points in MRc5 if the project is located within 500 miles of the manufacturing and extraction facilities.

Architectural Block: Split Face, Tuscan Sandblasted, C-BriC, Smooth Colored

Contributing towards earning MRc5, these concrete masonry units are manufactured at: North Arlington, Edison and Yardville, NJ. The materials are extracted in Jackson and Millington, NJ and Lehigh Valley, PA. Using these block products can help earn both points in MRc5 if the project is located within 500 miles of the manufacturing and extraction locations
