NORCROSS, Ga., Aug 05, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- As an expression of its long-term commitment to sustainability, Kawneer Company, Inc., the leading manufacturer of architectural aluminum building products and systems for commercial construction, has launched Kawneergreen.com. (www.kawneergreen.com) Kawneer is part of Alcoa's global Building and Construction Systems business unit. The new website will serve as a resource for Kawneer's green focus - featured products, systems, tools and support to help architects and building professionals achieve their sustainable vision.

As an industry leader, Kawneer is dedicated to providing high-performance, sustainable solutions and continuing to challenge the status quo - all while practicing social and environmental responsibility. Kawneer believes that in choosing the company, customers and architects can make choices that achieve the business, performance and aesthetic goals for their projects, while enhancing the sustainability of those buildings. Kawneergreen.com showcases Kawneer's featured green products, explores recent Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects and includes a LEED Certification section that brings Kawneer's printed LEED Planning Tool to life.

Green Products - Kawneergreen.com highlights information on Kawneer's featured portfolio of thermal, solar and photovoltaic products. In addition, the website enables users to quickly link back to Kawneer.com to download CAD and spec information and easily access LEED information to determine potential points for each product and LEED category.

Sustainable Projects - Kawneer products can help provide solutions addressing the unique climate and environment of each building, as well as interior challenges, such as thermal performance or condensation. Kawneergreen.com highlights selected LEED-registered or LEED-certified projects using Kawneer products - intriguing structures that have turned the idea of sustainability into a reality.

LEED Certification - Designed as a working instrument, Kawneer's LEED Planning Tool guides users to specific Kawneer products and solutions that can help in achieving LEED certification goals. Kawneergreen.com brings the popular tool to life, allows users to tie specific strategies to specific products and features sections for "Potential Points" based on the recommended products/principles for each LEED category. The site also includes additional links and resources for users to learn more about LEED principles and sustainable design.

Kawneer's commitment to sustainability is evidenced in its products and its actions. In January 2008, Kawneer launched a comprehensive campaign affirming its commitment to sustainability. With its key message, "Every Day You Make a Choice. Make a Choice that Counts," Kawneer examines how everyday choices may impact the future of the environment and how building with sustainable products can make a difference in the future of the planet.
