6. Materials & Resources
What materials are used, where they come from, how they are made, and how they are
disposed of are instrumental in determining how green a project is. Using more green
materials, including renewable materials, recycled materials, and natural materials, is good
for the building occupants and the environment. LEED shifts the focus a bit, providing
credits for using materials that have published Life Cycle Assessments and Environmental
Product Declarations.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) looks at the
environmental impacts of a building
material over the entire life of the
material, from extraction to
disposal. LCA attempts to quantify these
impacts for the purpose of comparing
materials or buildings.

What LCA is measured?
LCA is a scientific study of the environmental inputs and outputs to a building material,
product, or a whole building throughout its life. Several environmental effects are
studied in each assessment, including:
• Use of fossil fuels
• Use of non-renewable resources
• Water use
• Global warming potential
• Stratospheric ozone depletion
• Ground level ozone (smog) creation
• Effect on water bodies and organisms
• Acidification and acid deposition
• Toxic releases to air, water and land
Some of these effects cannot be exactly quantified for a specific unit of material, so
estimates are used. The importance of LCA is not necessarily in the quantification of
specific environmental effects, but in the comparison of products and assemblies.

Environmental Product Declarations
(EPDs) are the present and future of
green building. They allow
stakeholders to accurately assess the
environmental impacts of the
materials and equipment that go into
their buildings. EPDs are often called
the equivalent of nutrition labels for
the built industry.

16. 4. Materials & Resources
Building Reuse
(for reforms, restores and rehabilitations of existing buildings).
To extend the lifecycle of existing building stock, conserve resources, retain cultural resources, reduce waste and reduce environmental
impacts of new buildings as they relate to materials manufacturing and transport.
“Maintain Existing Walls, Floors and Roof & Maintain Interior Non-structural Elements”
What to do?:
- Maintain the existing building structure (including structural floor & roof decking) and envelope (the exterior skin and
framing, excluding window assemblies and non-structural roofing material). The minimum percentage building reuse
could be 60% at least.
- Use existing interior nonstructural elements (e.g., interior walls, doors, floor coverings and ceiling systems) in at least
60% (by area) of the completed building.
Hazardous materials that are remediated as a part of the project should be excluded from the calculation.
How to do it: Consider reusing existing, previously-occupied building structures, envelopes and elements. Remove
elements that pose a contamination risk to building occupants and upgrade components that would improve energy and
water efficiency such as windows, mechanical systems and plumbing fixtures.

17. 4. Materials & Resources
Regional Materials
To increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the
region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts
resulting from transportation.
What to do?: Use building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested or
recovered, as well as manufactured, within 800 km. of the project site for a minimum of 20%,
based on cost, of the total materials value. If only a fraction of a product or material is extracted,
harvested, or recovered and manufactured locally, then only that percentage (by weight) can
contribute to the regional value.
MEP components and specialty items such as elevators and equipment must not be included in
this calculation. Include only materials permanently installed in the project.
How to do it: Establish a project goal for locally sourced materials, and identify materials and
material suppliers that can achieve this goal. During construction, ensure that the specified local
materials are installed, and quantify the total percentage of local materials installed. Consider a
range of environmental, economic and performance attributes when selecting products and
materials.

Rapidly Renewable Materials
Use rapidly renewable building materials and products for 5% of the TOTAL COST VALUE of all
building materials and products used in the project (based on cost).
Rapidly renewable building materials and products are made from plants that are typically
harvested within a 10-year or shorter cycle.
Consider materials such as bamboo, cotton insulation, agrifiber, linoleum, wheat-board,
straw-board, cork, etc. During construction, ensure that the specified renewable materials
are installed. As animal materials, there is only the wool.

To encourage environmentally responsible forest management.
Requirements: Use a minimum of 50% (based on cost) of wood-based
materials and products that are certified in accordance with the Forest
Stewardship Council’s (FSC) principles and criteria, for wood building
components.
These components include at a minimum, structural framing and
general dimensional framing, flooring, sub-flooring, wood doors and
finishes.
Include only materials permanently installed in the project and
furniture too.
Potential Technologies & Strategies: Establish a project goal for FSC-
certified wood products and identify suppliers that can achieve this

27. Main Environmental Impacts
from Buildings
• Indoor air is 2 to 5 times more
polluted than outdoor air
• We spend 90% of our time indoors
• Many materials release toxins
called VOCs (Volatile Organic
Compounds)
• Asthma is the most common
chronic childhood disease.
• The construction and operation of
buildings are among the largest
consumers of materials and waste
generators
• Building constructions produces
40% of our solid waste

28. The Indoor Environmental Quality category rewards
decisions made by project teams about indoor air quality
and thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort. Green buildings
with good indoor environmental quality protect the health
and comfort of building occupants. High-quality indoor
environments also enhance productivity, decrease
absenteeism, improve the building’s value, and reduce
liability for building designers and owners. This category
addresses the myriad design strategies and environmental
factors—air quality, lighting quality, control over one’s
surroundings—that influence the way people learn, work,
and live.

Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ET S) Control
Why?: To prevent or minimize exposure of building occupants, indoor surfaces and
ventilation air distribution systems to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).
What to do?
CASE 1. All Projects
OPTION 1: Prohibit smoking in the building. Prohibit on-property smoking within 8 meters of entries, outdoor air intakes and
operable windows. Provide signage to allow smoking in designated areas, prohibit smoking in designated areas or prohibit
smoking on the entire property.
OR
OPTION 2: Prohibit smoking in the building except in designated smoking areas. Prohibit on-property smoking within 8 meters
of entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows.
Provide signage to allow smoking in designated areas, prohibit smoking in designated areas or prohibit smoking on the entire
property.
Provide designated smoking rooms designed to contain, capture and remove ETS from the building. At a minimum, the smoking
room must be directly exhausted to the outdoors, away from air intakes and building entry paths, with no recirculation of ETS-
containing air to nonsmoking areas and enclosed with impermeable deck-to-deck partitions. Operate exhaust sufficient to create
a negative pressure differential with the surrounding spaces of at least an average of 5 Pascals (Pa) and a minimum of 1 Pa when
the doors to the smoking rooms are closed.

30. Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control
Requirements
CASE 2. Residential and Hospitality Projects Only:
Prohibit smoking in all common areas of the building.
Locate any exterior designated smoking areas, including balconies where smoking is permitted, at least 8 meters
from entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows opening to common areas.
Prohibit on-property smoking within 8 meters of entries, outdoor air intakes and operable windows.
Provide signage to allow smoking in designated areas, prohibit smoking in designated areas or prohibit smoking on
the entire property.
Weather-strip all exterior doors and operable windows in the residential units to minimize leakage from outdoors.
Minimize uncontrolled pathways for ETS transfer between individual residential units by sealing penetrations in
walls, ceilings and floors in the residential units and by sealing vertical chases adjacent to the units. Weather-strip all
doors in the residential units leading to common hallways to minimize air leakage into the Hallway.
Potential Technologies & Strategies: Prohibit smoking in commercial buildings or effectively control the
ventilation air in smoking rooms. For residential buildings, prohibit smoking in common areas and design building
envelope and systems to minimize ETS transfer among dwelling units.

32. Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring
To provide capacity for ventilation system monitoring to help promote occupant comfort and well-being.
What to do?: Install permanent monitoring systems to ensure that ventilation systems maintain design minimum requirements.
Configure all monitoring equipment to generate an alarm when airflow values or carbon dioxide (CO2) levels vary by
10% or more from the design values via either a building automation system alarm to the building operator or a visual or audible
alert to the building occupants
AND
CASE 1. Mechanically Ventilated Spaces: Monitor CO2 concentrations within all densely occupied spaces (those with a design
occupant density of 25 people or more per 330 m²). CO2 monitors must be between 1 and 3 metros above the floor.
Provide a direct outdoor airflow measurement device capable of measuring the minimum outdoor air intake flow with an
accuracy of plus or minus 15% of the design minimum outdoor air rate, as defined by International Standard, or local, for
mechanical ventilation systems where 20% or more of the design supply airflow serves non-densely occupied spaces.
CASE 2. Naturally Ventilated Spaces: Monitor CO2 concentrations within all naturally ventilated spaces. CO2 monitors must be
between 1 and 3 metros above the floor.
How to do it: Install CO2 and airflow measurement equipment and feed the information to the heating, ventilating and air
conditioning (HVAC) system and/or building automation system (BAS) to trigger corrective action, if applicable.
If such automatic controls are not feasible with the building systems, use the measurement equipment to trigger alarms that
inform building operators or occupants of a possible deficiency in outdoor air delivery.

34. Low-Emitting Materials
To reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous, irritating and/or harmful to the comfort and well-being of installers and occupants.
Adhesives and Sealants - Paints and Coatings - Flooring Systems - Composite Wood and Agrifiber Products
What to do?
All adhesives and sealants used on the interior of the building (i.e., inside of the weatherproofing system and applied on-site) must comply
with a quality standard requirements with international prestige.
Aerosol Adhesives must comply with a quality standard requirements with international prestige.
Paints and coatings used on the interior of the building (i.e., inside of the weatherproofing system and applied onsite) must comply with the
following criteria as applicable to the project scope:
- Architectural paints and coatings applied to interior walls and ceilings must not exceed the volatile organic compound (VOC) content limits
established in a quality standard requirements with international prestige.
- Anti-corrosive and anti-rust paints applied to interior ferrous metal substrates must not exceed the VOC content limit of 250 g/L
established in a quality standard requirements with international prestige.
- Clear wood finishes, floor coatings, stains, primers, and shellacs applied to interior elements must not exceed the VOC content limits
established in a quality standard requirements with international prestige.
All flooring elements installed in the building interior must meet the testing and product requirements of a quality standard requirements
with international prestige for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions.
How to do it: Specify low-VOC materials in construction documents. Ensure that VOC limits are clearly stated in each section of the
specifications where adhesives and sealants are addressed. Common products to evaluate include general construction adhesives, flooring
adhesives, fire-stopping sealants, caulking, duct sealants, plumbing adhesives and cove base adhesives. Review product cut sheets, material
safety data (MSD) sheets, signed attestations or other official literature from the manufacturer clearly identifying the VOC contents or
compliance with referenced standards.

To provide for the assessment of building occupant thermal comfort over time.
What to do?: Provide individual comfort controls for 50% (minimum) of the building occupants to enable
adjustments to meet individual needs and preferences. Provide comfort system controls for all shared multi-
occupant spaces to enable adjustments that meet group needs and preferences.
Operable windows may be used in lieu of controls for occupants. The areas of operable window must meet the
requirements of ASHRAE/EN about Natural Ventilation, if there´s not a local standard.
Conditions for thermal comfort are described in ASHRAE/EN, or local, Standard and include the primary factors
of air temperature, radiant temperature, air speed and humidity.
Design heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and the building envelope to meet the
requirements of ASHRAE/EN, or local, Standard about Thermal Comfort Conditions for Human Occupancy.
Provide a permanent monitoring system to ensure that building performance meets the desired comfort
criteria.
