In today's construction industry, sustainability is more than a trend, it's a necessity. Hilti is committed to supporting sustainable building practices through its innovative firestop solutions. This article explores how Hilti's firestop can contribute to Green Building certifications and environmental responsibility on your projects.
 
Although the most common Green Building certification schemes, such as LEED, BREEAM, or DGNB, are not directly granting certifications to specific products only to projects, Hilti firestop solutions can help buildings earn additional points through documentation such as Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC).
