GREEN BUILDING LEADERSHIP – LEED CERTIFICATION

Glen-Gery is proud to manufacture products which support a sustainable environment. Our range of bricks and pavers can contribute to buildings achieving Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Certification, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council.

LEED buildings cost less to operate, by saving energy, water, resources, generate less waste and support human health.

Many of Glen-Gery’s clay bricks incorporate recycled content. We “close the loop” by returning our production waste into the raw material mix; and incorporating reclaimed waste from other industrial process streams.

Our bricks are locally produced. 500-Mile LEED Radius Guides have been published on our website www.glengery.com p Brick Technical Information p LEED and Sustainability

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Circa Central Park is an 11-story mixed-use building with 38 one-to-five bedroom luxury residences and an additional 10 units that are designated as affordable housing. Located on a prominent site on Frederick Douglass Circle in Upper Manhattan, Circa offers modern, indoor-outdoor living with sweeping views of Central Park. Glen-Gery brick was chosen due to its wide range of colour and brick options available. This allowed the design team to tailor the design in a singular way that enhances the overall building aesthetic.

CERTIFIED BRICK SPECIALISTS

32 of our brick sales professionals have gained the Brick Industry Association Certified Brick Specialist certification. Our staff have achieved high level training in clay brick products, and have passed 13 in-depth technical and sales training examinations.
