Increase building flexibility and ease of adaptive reuse over the
life of the structure by employing a minimum of three of the
following design and/or space planning strategies:
»
» Use of interstitial space serving for a minimum 20% of
project diagnostic and treatment or other clinical floor area
[calculation based on Departmental Gross Square Foot
(DGSF)].Designdistributionsystemsforelectrical,information
technology, communication, medical gases, and sprinklers
with the capability to control multiple zones in clinical spaces.
(Inpatient units are included in this calculation.)
»
» Provide programmed soft space, such as administration/
storage, equal to a minimum of 5% of total clinical space.
Locate soft space adjacent to clinical departments
that anticipate growth. Determine strategy for future
accommodation of displaced soft space (calculation based
on project DGSF).
»
» Provide shelled space equal to a minimum of 5% of total
project departmental clinical space; locate where it can be
occupied without displacing occupied space (calculation
based on project DGSF).
»
» Identify horizontal expansion capacity for diagnostic and
treatment or other clinical space equal to a minimum of 30%
of existing of future expansion). Reconfiguration of additional
existing occupied space that has been constructed with
demountable partition systems is permitted. Or design for
future vertical expansion on a minimum of 75% of the roof,
ensuring that existing operations and service systems will be
able to operate at or near capacity during the expansion.
»
» Designate location(s) for future above-grade parking
structure(s) equal to 50% of existing on-grade parking
capacity, with direct access to the main hospital lobby/
circulation/ vertical transportation pathways.
»
» Use the demountable partitions for 50% of applicable areas
as a strategy for future flexibility.
»
» Use movable modular casework for a minimum of 50% of
casework and custom millwork. (Calculation is based upon
the combined value of the two elements, as determined by
the cost estimator or contractor).
Requirements LEED v4
Increase building flexibility and ease of adaptive use over the
life of the structure by employing at least three of the following
strategies:
»
» Use of interstitial space. Design distribution zone utility
systems and equipment including HVAC, plumbing, electrical,
information technology, medical gases, and life safety
systems to serve the occupied zones and have the capacity
to control multiple zones in clinical spaces.
»
» Provide programmed soft space, such as administration
or storage, equal to at least 5% of departmental gross area
(DGA). Locate soft space adjacent to clinical departments
that anticipate growth. Determine a strategy for future
accommodation of displaced soft.
»
» Provide shell space equal to at least 5% of DGA. Locate it
such that it can be occupied without displacing occupied.
»
» Identify horizontal expansion capacity for diagnostic and

1. For this example Avanti’s location is used as the Project Site. The glass manufacturer used is in PA. Avanti retains the services of many glass
manufacturers across the United States.
2. If the Project Site is within 500 miles of Los Angeles, CA the hardware may contribute toward the Regional Materials credit.
The dominance of the glass, which is extracted within 200 miles of the manufacturing point of Greenwich, CT, allows a potential of 93%
of an Avanti product to count towards the regional credit.
The final regional material calculation is done by cost. Products, like Avanti’s, who only contribute a percentage of their total weight to this
credit must multiply this percentage by the total cost of the product.
Cost of Regional Material = Percentage of local material (by weight) * Total Cost of Product
Note: This calculator does not guarantee a project will get a percentage of points for implementing Avanti products as it depends on the
location of the project. The calculator lists the materials that could possibly qualify for this credit.

Avanti products have two possible glass types, LCD or regular glass. Depending on the choice of glass selected, the project location needs
to be located within the intersection of two of the three 500 mile radii to receive some contribution of this credit. The project must be
within 500 miles of the manufacturing point, Greenwich, CT; to contribute to all this or any Regional Material credit. As a good portion
(weight) of Avanti products are made up of glass, having the glass source close to the point of manufacture means most of Avanti’s
products have the potential to contribute to this credit.
For any project located in this region, Avanti’s products will fully
contribute to Option 1 of LEED IDC Credit MR5.

Avanti Product Contribution:
For this option in LEED IDC, the manufacturing point is what is
important. According to LEED,
“The point of manufacture is considered the place of final
assembly of components into the building product that is
furnished and installed by the trade’s workers. For example, if the
hardware comes from Dallas, the lumber comes from Vancouver,
and the joist is assembled in Kent, Washington, then the location
of the final assembly is Kent, Washington.”

Figures 1-4 show recycled content calculations done for 5ft x 9ft glass partitions. They both have single glazed or double glazed channels
and different amounts of hardware but their recycled content only varies slightly. This example is scalable to any of Avanti’s specific
solutions by taking the square feet of glass for a specific project and diving it by 45. This will give a pounds per square feet value which can
be multiplied by the square feet of glass for an amount of glass. Provided are two ranges of hardware weight 0-9lbs and 10-25lbs. Most of
Avanti’s products and solutions will fall into one of these two ranges. As the glass is overwhelmingly dominant by weight in all of Avanti’s
products, the recycled content will always be around 35%.
1. Recycled Content is defined in accordance with the International Organization of Standards document, ISO 14021-Environmenal
labels and declarations – Self-declared environmental claims (Type II environmental labeling).
2. Postconsumer material is defined as waste material generated by households or by commercial, industrial and institutional facilities
in their role as end-users of the product, which can no longer be used for its intended purpose.
3. Pre-consumer material defined as material diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. Reutilization of
materials (i.e., rework, regrind or scrap generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated
it) is excluded.

phase through a calculation, or it can be achieved prescriptively
by using sufficient quantities of materials with a specified noise
reduction coefficient (NRC).
Sound Transmission
Specified sound transmission performance is not required for
compliance with this prerequisite. For information on sound
transmission, see EQc9, Enhanced Acoustical Performance.
Avanti, in their supplied acoustic chart, lists the product’s Rw
numbers which measure sound transmission reduction. Rw
is roughly a measurement of how much sound, in decibels, is
restricted from passing through a surface. This prerequisite is
looking for sound absorption information not sound transmission
reduction ratings. For both reverberation time measurements
and minimum Noise Reduction Coefficient ratings for sound-
absorbent finishes, LEED requires (NRC) statistics. NRC is a
type of sound absorption measurement, averaged over specific
frequencies. Sound absorption measurements describe the
percentage of incident sound that reflects back into a room
(e.g. a surface with a NRC of 0.5 will at an average frequency
reflect back half of the sound incident upon it). Unfortunately,
Rw and NRC statistics can be a bit counteractive, Rw is focused
on keeping sound in. While NRC is concerned with making sure
it doesn’t stay in. Though a high Rw value means a high level of
sound absorption and not just reflection back into the room,
Avanti’s partition would have to be tested to determine exact
absorptive properties like NRC. An RT60 Test is necessary to
calculate reverberation time and an NRC test is necessary to
measure NRC ratings. As it seems unlikely that Avanti’s products
will contribute very much to this prerequisite, these tests are an
unnecessary expense and should not be undertaken.

STC 30
Definitions:
Sound Transmission Class (STC): is a single number rating for
the acoustic attenuation (reduction) of airborne sound passing
through a partition or any other building element such as a wall,
roof or door as measured in an acoustical testing laboratory
following accepted industry practice. A higher STC rating
provides more sound attenuation through a partition.
Rw Values: Rw describes the airborne sound insulating power of
a building element. It is a laboratory measured value. It can apply
to walls, ceilings/floors, ceiling/roofs, doors and windows. The
higher the number, the greater the sound insulating power of the
building element. For example, an increase in the Rw of a wall by
10 points will reduce the perceived loudness of sound passing
through the wall by about half. It generally varies from STC values
by less than 1% due to a different frequency range that is used
during testing.

Conclusion:
ForthesoundtransmissionportionofEQc9,insomeapplications,
Avanti products will help a project qualify for this LEED credit.
Grey highlighted in Tables 1 and 2 are all the space descriptions
that some of Avanti’s glazings qualify for (grey highlighted
in Table 3). Avanti’s products will help reduce HVAC noise in
learning spaces, helping projects qualify for the background
noise portion of EQc9. Any HVAC noise located outside a
classroom utilizing Avanti double or twin glazed products will be
reduced to below the 40dBA requirement. Beyond LEED, Avanti
products focus on reducing sound transmission and not sound
absorption and thus marketing should be geared towards this
aspect. Sound absorption will be difficult for any glass product
as it will tend to be a much better reflector than absorber (part
of glass properties).

Daylight and Views - Daylight
LEED 2009 – EQc8.1, LEEDv4 – Daylight
Requirements LEED 2009 (BD+C ID+C)
Through 1 of the 4 options, achieve daylighting in at least the following spaces:
Regularly Occupied Spaces Points
75% 1
90% 2
Option 1. Simulation
Demonstrate through computer simulation that the applicable spaces achieve daylight illuminance levels of a minimum of 10 footcandles
(fc) (108 lux) and a maximum of 500 fc (5,400 lux) in a clear sky condition on September 21 at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Provide glare control devices to avoid high-contrast situations that could impede visual tasks. However, designs that incorporate view-
preserving automated shades for glare control may demonstrate compliance for only the minimum 10 fc (108 lux) illuminance level.
Option 2. Prescriptive
For sidelighting zones:
»
» Achieve a value, calculated as the product of the visible light transmittance (VLT) and window-to-floor area ration (WFR) between
0.150 and 0.180.
0.150 VLT X WFR 0.180
»
» The window area included in the calculation must be at least 30 inches (0.8 meters) above the floor.
»
» In section, the ceiling must not obstruct a lien that extends from the window-head to a point on the floor that is located twice the height
of the window-head from the exterior wall as measured perpendicular to the glass (see Figure 1).
»
» Provide glare control devices to avoid high-contrast situations that could impede visual tasks. However, designs that incorporate view-
preserving automated shades for glare control may demonstrate compliance for only the minimum 0.150 value.
Figure 1

For Toplighting zones:
»
» The toplighting zone under a skylight is the outline of the opening beneath the skylight, plus in each direction the lesser of.
• 70% of the ceiling height
• 1/2 the distance to the edge of the nearest skylight
• The distance to any permanent partition that is closer than 70% of the distance between the top of the partition and the ceiling.
• Achieve skylight coverage for the applicable space (containing the top-lighting zone) between 3% and 6% of the total floor area.
• The skylight must have a minimum 0.5 VLT.
• A skylight diffuser, if used, must have a measured haze value of greater than 90% when tested according to ASTM D1003.
Option 3. Measurement
Demonstrate through records of indoor light measurements that a minimum daylight illumination level of 10 fc (108 lux) and a maximum
of 500 fc (5,400 lux) has been achieved in the applicable spaces. Measurements must be taken on a 10-foot (3-meter) grid and shall be
recorded on building floor plans.
Provide glare control devices to avoid high-contrast situations that could impede visual tasks. However, designs that incorporate view-
preserving automated shades for glare control may demonstrate compliance for only the minimum 10 fc (108 lux) luminance level.
Option 4. Combination
Any of the above calculation methods may be combined to document the minimum daylight illumination in the applicable spaces.
Provide manual or automatic (with manual override) glare-control devices for all regularly occupied spaces. Select one of the following
three options.
Option 1. Simulation: Spatial Daylight Autonomy (2-3 points, 1-2 Healthcare)
Demonstrate through annual computer simulations that spatial daylight autonomy300/50% (sDA300/50%) of at least 55%, 75% or
90% is achieved. Use regularly occupied floor area. Healthcare projects should use the perimeter area determined under EQ Credit
Quality Views. Points are awarded according to Table 1

Table 1. Points for daylit floor area: Spatial daylight autonomy
AND
Demonstrate through annual computer simulations that annual sunlight exposure1000,250 (ASE1000,250) of no more than 10% is
achieved. Use the regularly occupied floor area that is daylit per the sDA300/50% simulations.
The sDA and ASE calculation grids should be no more than 2 feet (600 millimeters) square and laid out across the regularly occupied
area t a work plane height of 30 inches (76 millimeters) above finished floor (unless otherwise defined). Use an hourly time-step analysis
based on typical meteorological year data, or an equivalent, for the nearest available weather station. Include any permanent interior
obstructions, Movable furniture and partitions may be excluded.
Demonstrate through computer modeling that illuminance levels will be between 300 lux and 3,000 lux for 9 a.m. and
3 p.m. both on a clear-sky day at the equinox, for the floor area indicated in Table 2. Use regularly occupied floor area.
Healthcare projects should use the perimeter area determined under EQ Credit Quality Views.
