Support for Green Buildings
We are working to make door and security solutions more sustainable, through innovation, certification support and a global commitment to reducing the environmental impact of buildings and building solutions.
The United Nations Environment Programme estimates that buildings consume around 60 percent of the world’s electricity.
We understand the importance our customers place on “building better”. In a global survey of security professionals for our 2021 Wireless Access Control Report, 90 percent of respondents agreed that sustainability concerns would impact their technology choices over the next five years.
We offer a range of door and access solutions which help new and existing buildings to reduce their environmental footprint. Our product range includes electronic locking self-powered by energy harvesting technology. We offer access solutions which help organizations to reduce their use of plastics by issuing smartphone credentials instead of fobs and key-cards.
Our product development and innovation processes embed sustainability and carbon reduction principles from the outset. We target transparency across the full life-cycle of products and building solutions, including by publishing independently audited Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for multiple access control and security product ranges.
Our growing range of integrated and integration-ready solutions for smart buildings are engineered to provide a platform for more energy-efficient building management.
In countries all over the world, ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions has staff with deep knowledge of local green building standards and regulations.
Our experts are dedicated to staying up-to-date with any changes or updates to these standards, ensuring that we provide our customers and partners with the most current and accurate information.
ASSA ABLOY has created contribution sheets for 6 green building certification programs, including LEED and BREEAM, to support certification applications. These sheets detail how ASSA ABLOY products can help buildings meet environmental sustainability requirements and achieve certification.
By providing these resources, ASSA ABLOY demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and supports green building practices as demand for certification continues to grow.
