What Makes It Green?

1. Where did the material come from?

2. What are the byproducts of the process

used to manufacture or produce it?

3. How is the material transported from

the factory to the job site, and how will it

be installed?

4. How will the material be

maintained and/or operated?

5. How healthy are the materials to be

around?

6. What will happen to these materials

if and when they are discarded or

outdated? (Can they be recycled or

reused?)

Credit 2.2: Construction

Waste Management Divert 75% from Disposal

Credit 3.1: Materials Reuse

Use salvaged, refurbished or reused materials

such that the sum constitutes 5%, of the total

value of materials on the project.

Credit 3.2: 10% of total value of materials

Credit 4.1: Recycled Content

10% (post-consumer + ½ pre-consumer)

Credit 4.2: Recycled Content 20%

Recycled content…..

Post-consumer : material generated

by end users of a product, which can

no longer be used for its intended

purpose.

Pre-consumer : material diverted

from the waste stream during the

manufacturing process.

Metal Roofing

Recycled barnwood, cobblestones

and concrete rubble

Floors from reclaimed lumber

Credit 5.1: Regional Materials Use building materials and products that have

been extracted, harvested or recovered, as well

as manufactured, within 500 miles of the project

site for a minimum of 10% (based on cost) of

the total materials value.

Credit 5.2: Regional Materials

Minimum of 20% (based on cost) of the total

materials value.

Credit 7: Certified Wood Use a minimum of 50% of

wood-based materials and

products, which are FSC

certified.

These include: structural

framing and general

dimensional framing,

flooring, sub-flooring,

wood doors and finishes.

Ecological Functions of a

Natural Forest Provides shelter and protection, and

maintains stability of air, soil and water.

Preserves the perfectly adapted genetic

material of plants and animals.

Buffers cyclones and tsunamis

Absorbs carbon dioxide

If large enough, will offer sanctuary to

indigenous mammals, birds and reptiles in

the event of fire or drought, cyclones or

tsunamis, especially if it is linked to wildlife

corridors.

What is FSC ?

INDEPENDENT – Not-for-profit organization

JUST – Balance in decision making between

economic, ecological and societal interests.

APPLICABLE WORLDWIDE- Criteria

implemented in tropical and temperate forests.

CREDIBLE – Chain of Custody (CoC) is

monitored from forest to end product.

Only system that specifies objective, verifiable

forest management and closely monitors if

these have been achieved.

Innovation in Design

Exemplary Performance Points

Project teams may earn an Innovation in

Design point for exemplary performance

when the requirements reach the next

incremental step.

Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)

A life cycle assessment

is the investigation and valuation of the

environmental impacts of a given product or

service caused or necessitated by its

existence.

Life Cycle Assessment

Cradle to Grave –

LCA considers environmental

impacts related to:

Extraction or harvesting of raw materials

Refining and manufacturing processes

Transportation of those products

Eventual disposal or reuse

Look at the whole building

from a life-cycle perspective

Addressing the impacts of building

operation, including energy use, water

use, and maintenance impacts should

be a high priority.

Flyash

Advantages of Fly Ash in

Concrete

Fly Ash is a pozzolan.

Fly Ash improves concrete

workability and lowers water demand.

Fly Ash has a lower heat of hydration.

Fly Ash generally reduces the

permeability and adsorption of

concrete.

Fly Ash is economical.
