This guide provides useful information on where Acoustical Ceiling Panels and Suspended Ceiling Grid products supplied by Ecoplus Systems may assist in gaining Green Star NZ points;
| Green Star NZ Category | Credit Name | Ecoplus Systems Product Group | Products that May Assist in Qualifying for Credit | |
| Indoor Environmental Quality | Indoor Air Quality | Ecoplus Acoustical Ceiling Tiles | Acoustic Plus and Performance Plus Ultra Ceiling Tiles emit very low levels of VOCs and formaldehyde and meet the most stringent requirements for emissions. | |
| Daylight, electrical lighting levels | Ecoplus Acoustical Ceiling Tiles | Using high Light Reflectance (LR) ceiling tiles such as Ecoplus Systems Acoustical Ceiling Tiles (LR of .76 to .85) can reduce required luminaries of the space, therefore reducing energy consumption, and improve the quality and quantity of natural light. | ||
| Internal Noise levels | Ecoplus Acoustical Ceiling Tiles | Ecoplus Systems supply acoustical ceilings tiles that deliver high NRC – Noise Reduction Coefficient (related to the reverberation time of a material) levels. These panels can assist acoustics engineers to maintain the correct acoustic level to help harmonise the workspace. | ||
| Energy | Lighting | Ecoplus Acoustical Ceiling Tiles | Ceiling tiles with high light reflectance (LR) can reduce the number of required light fixtures required thus reducing energy consumption. | |
| Materials | Shell and Core or Integrated Fit out | Ecoplus FasTLock Suspended Ceiling Grid | Ecoplus FasTLock Suspended Ceiling Grid is designed to be easily disassembled and reused or recycled. | |
| Shell and Core or Integrated Fit out | Ecoplus Plasterboard Grid System | Ecoplus Plasterboard Grid System is designed to be easily disassembled and reused or recycled. | ||
