2 LEED USGBC NC, CS & SCHOOLS 2009 A positive impact with LEED USGBC-NC, CS & SCHOOLS 2009 The growing interest for sustainable building design & operations, of which we are part, is embodied in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ) Green Building Rating Systems in North America. This document explores the potential contribution for the use of CENDREX'S products for a LEED USGBC-NC & CS 2009 (New Construction and Major Renovations) and (Core and Shell) and for LEED USGBC for Schools 2009 project. The LEED USGBC NC & CS 2009 and the LEED USGBC for Schools 2009 Rating Systems have 110 points divided in seven categories for certifying the design and construction of commercial or institutional buildings and high-rise residential buildings of all sizes, both public and private. CENDREX'S products can assist in earning points towards the various LEED rating system certification levels. In some cases, CENDREX'S products contribute directly to individual LEED points, but in other cases, they can only help meet the overall intent.

3 CONTRIBUTION S MR 3 Materials Reuse 2 points (NC & Schools) 1 point (CS) Indirect NC & Schools: Use salvaged, refurbished or reused materials, the sum of which constitutes at least 5% (1 point) or 10% (2 points) based on cost of the value of materials on the project. CS: Use salvaged, refurbished or reused materials, the sum of which constitutes at least 5%, based on cost, of the total value of materials on the project. SURFACE TYPES from CENDREX only contribute to this credit when it is retrieved and reused in another project or if used for other purposes in the same project. When FOR ALL SURFACE TYPES is new and installed in the project, it cannot contribute to this credit. MR 4 Recycled Content 1-2 points Direct MATERIALS AND RESOURCES (MR) Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus 1/2 of the pre-consumer content constitutes at least 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points) based on cost, of the total value of the materials in the project. The recycled content value of a material assembly is determined by weight. The recycled fraction of the assembly is then multiplied by the cost of assembly to determine the recycled content value. MR 5 Regionals Materials 1-2 points Direct Use building materials or products that have been extracted, harvested, recovered and processed within 500 miles of the project site for a minimum of 10% (1 point) or 20% (2 points), based on cost, of the total materials value. If only a fraction of a product or material is extracted, harvested, recovered, processed and manufactured locally, then only that percentage (by weight) must contribute to the regional value. SURFACE TYPES from CENDREX can contribute to this credit since it contains, on average, 18.92% pre-consumer and 66.93% post-consumer recycled content. The recycled content percentages will vary according to the door s size. These percentages were calculated based on the components weight ratio over the whole door and may vary according to the selected suppliers. CENDREX can provide specific data for each product with recycled content in a LEED project. SURFACE TYPES from CENDREX can contribute to this credit since up to 85.85% of its components are extracted, collected, treated and recovered within an 800 km or 2,400 km radius (depending on the transportation mean used). This percentage was calculated according to components weight ratio over the entire side door s assembly, and may vary depending on the choice of suppliers. The percentage calculation was performed by considering the requirements of Credit MR 5 and the maximum distance radius (which depends on the means of transportation used). The origin of the main components and the mean of transportation used must be validated for every project. The final manufacturing site for the AHD - GENERAL PURPOSE ACCESS DOOR from CENDREX is located in Quebec, Montreal (H1E 6N6). PAGE 3

4 INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (IEQ) CONTRIBUTION S IEQ 3.2 Option 2 Construction IAQ management plan: Before occupancy 1 point (NC & Schools) 0 points (CS) Indirect NC & Schools: Develop an IAQ management plan and implement it after all finishes have been installed and the building has been completely cleaned before occupancy. Option 2 - Air Testing Conduct baseline IAQ testing, after construction ends and prior to occupancy, using testing protocols consistent with the EPA Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Air Pollutants in Indoor Air and as additionally detailed in the LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction, 2009 Edition. Low-Emitting Materials: IEQ 4.2 Non-applicable Indirect Paints and Coatings NC & CS: Paint and coating used on the interior of the building (i.e., inside of the weatherproofing system and applied on site) must comply with the following criteria as applicable to the project scope: Anti-corrosive an anti-rust paints applied to interior ferrous metal substrates must not exceed the VOC content limit of 250 g/l established in Green Seal Standard GC-03, Anti-Corrosive Paints, Second Edition, January 7, Clear wood finishes, floor coatings, stains, primers, sealers, and shellacs applied to interior elements must not exceed the VOC content limit established in South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1113, Architectural Coatings, rules in effect on January 1,2004. Schools: All paints and coatings installed in the building interior must meet the testing and product requirements of the California Department of Health Services Standard Practice for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources Using Small-Scale Environmental Chambers. Including 2004 Addenda. School projects may choose from IEQ for a maximum of 4 points. SURFACE TYPES from CENDREX is manufactured offsite. CENDREX selects the most environmentally friendly products and components, which indirectly promotes a better IAQ. The use of low-emission products in the manufacturing process of the FOR ALL SURFACE TYPES from CENDREX helps achieving the requirements for Credit IEQ 3.2 Option 2: Air analysis. SURFACE TYPES only contains paints and coatings applied offsite and is thus excluded from the Credit IEQ 4.2 requirements. Moreover, the finishes used in the manufacturing of the product are powder coatings, which have no VOC content. Special attention should be paid to any on-site application of paints or finish products for touch ups. The products used must also meet this credit s requirements. PAGE 4

5 CONTRIBUTION S INNOVATION IN DESIGN (ID) ID path 2 Path 2: Exemplary Performance Innovation in design 1-3 points Direct Achieve exemplary performance in an existing LEED 2009 for New Construction, Schools and Core & Shell prerequisite or credit that allows exemplary performance as specified in the LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design & Construction, 2009 Edition. An exemplary performance point may be earned for achieving double the credit requirements and/or achieving the next incremental percentage threshold of an existing credit in LEED. One point is awarded for each exemplary performance achieved. No more than 3 points under ID credit 1 may be earned through PATH 2 Exemplary Performance. SURFACE TYPES from CENDREX contains, in its assembly, high percentages of recycled content and regional materials, which could contribute to exemplary performance strategies for the following credits: MR 4 - Innovation and exemplary performance if the project achieves 30% recycled content. MR 5 - Innovation and exemplary performance if the project achieves 40% regional material. SURFACE TYPES from CENDREX achieves excellent performances in the MR 4 and MR 5 Credits and can thus contribute to exceed these credits requirements. RP 2 Regional Priority 1-4 points Direct/Indirect REGIONAL PRIORITY (RP) Earn 1-4 of the 6 Regional Priority credits identified by the USGBC regional councils and chapters as having environmental importance for a project s region. One point is awarded for each Regional Priority credit achieved; no more than 4 credits identified as Regional Priority credits may be earned. The USGBC has prioritized credits for projects located in the U.S., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. All other international projects should check the database for eligible Regional Priority credits. Please refer to the Advantages and Aspects to Consider section of the Regional Priority credit. A database of Regional Priority credits and their geographic applicability is available on the USGBC website, TOTAL Up to 14 possible points (NC & SCHOOLS) &12 possible points (CS) SURFACE TYPES From CENDREX can contribute up to fourteen (14) points for LEED USGBC-NC& SCHOOLS 2009 project & twelve (12) points for LEED USGBC-CS 2009 project * It is important to consider that the total amount of possible points reflects the number of achievable points in each credit category. The product by itself cannot achieve this score, as defined above, but is considered as a beneficial element in order to achieve LEED credits. PAGE 5
