2 LEED CANADA FOR HOMES 2009 A positive impact with LEED Canada for homes 2009 The growing interest of Milette Doors' in sustainability in the design and operation of buildings is embodied in the great systems of Green Building Rating Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ) in North America. This document explores the potential contribution of the use of Milette Doors' products for a LEED Canada for Homes 2009 project, system based on 136 points in eight categories of credits. The Rating System LEED Canada for Homes 2009, is part of a family of Rating Systems for different types of construction projects. A unique product cannot qualify a project for LEED credits by itself as the requirements cover all the materials and design of a project. LEED Canada for homes Summary Table Category Prerequisite Minimal number of points required Maximal number of points required Potential Contribution LEED Canada for homes 2009 ID Innovation & Design Process point LL Location & Linkages points SS Sustainable Sites points WE Water Efficiency points EA Energy & Atmosphere points MR Materials & Resources points EQ Indoor Environmental Quality points AE Awarness & Education points Total Up to 1.5 points * 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 2

3 MATÉRIALS AND RESOURCES (MR) INNOVATION AND DESIGN PROCESS (ID) POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTION CONTRIBUTION POTENTIELLE LEED CANADA-NC FOR 2009 HOMES 2009 DURABLE POTENTIAL S STRATEGIES POINTS ID 3.1 Innovation or regional design 1 point Prepare a written Innovative Design Request, to be submitted by the LEED Canada for Homes Provider to the CaGBC, explaining the merits of the proposed measure. This point should not be counted until LEED Canada for Homes has ruled on the request. This credit rewards innovative or regional measures that are not addressed elsewhere in the Rating System. A project can also receive 1 LEED point for exceeding the performance requirements of existing credits. The from MILETTE DOORS contain, in their assembly, high percentages of regional materials, which could contribute to exemplary performance strategies for the following credit: - Regional materials The from MILETTE DOORS achieve excellent performances in the regional materials Credits and can thus contribute to exceed these credit requirement. FSC-Certified MR 2.1 (0) required Tropical Wood Prerequisites 2.1 : FSC-Certified Tropical Wood. Meet the following two requirements, as applicable: A) Provide all wood-product suppliers with a notice (see figure 6, below) containing all the following elements: a statement that the builder s preference is to purchase products containing tropical wood only if it is FSC-certified; a request for the country of manufacture of each products supplied; and a request for a list of FSC-certified tropical wood products the vendor can supply. B) If tropical wood is intentionally used (i.e., specified in purchasing documents), use only FSCcertified tropical wood products. Reused or reclaimed materials are exempt. preferable products: Do not contribute FSC-Certified wood Use building materials that meet one or more of the criteria below: Except as noted otherwise below, 90% of the, as defined in each category, must meet the specification shown. Flooring : 45% of total floor area (0.5 point) or 90% of total floor area (0.5 additional point) is FSC Certified. The from MILETTE DOORS can contribute to this prerequisite since no tropical wood is used in their manufacture. In a certified project, MILETTE DOORS can provide a compliance letter for this prerequisite. MILETTE DOORS is not FSC Certified. The FSC certification must be clearly specified when required in a LEED project in order to ensure compliance. PAGE 3

4 MATÉRIALS AND RESOURCES (MR) POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTION S DURABLE STRATEGIES POTENTIAL POINTS preferable products: Recycled content Use building materials that meet one or more of the criteria below: Recycled content products must contain a minimum of 25% postconsumer recycled content, except as noted in Table 24. Post-industrial (pre-consumer) recycled content must be counted at half the rate of postconsumer content. The from MILETTE DOORS can contribute to this credit because some of their s have a pre-consumer recycled content. However, they do not contain any post-consumer recycled content. The ' recycled pre-consumer contents are shown in the table below: FRECH DOOR'S MODELS Pre- consumer Recycled Content Post-consumer OVOLO MOULDING 32.41% 0% SQUARE MOULDING 25.85% 0% These percentages were calculated based on the s weight ratio over the whole door and may vary according to the selected suppliers. MILETTE DOORS can provide specific data for each product with recycled content in a LEED project. Regionals Materials Preferable Products (0.5 point each, maximum of 8 points) Use building materials that meet one or more of the criteria below. Except as noted in Table 24, a material must make up 90% of the by weight or volume. A single that meets each criterion (i.e., environmentally preferable, low emissions, and local sourcing) can earn points for each. Local production Use products that were extracted, processed, and manufactured within 800 km (500 miles) of home if moved by truck or within 2,400 km (1,500 miles) if moved by rail. Except as noted otherwise below, 90% of the, as defined in each category, must meet the specification shown The from MILETTE DOORS contain some s that are extracted, collected, treated and recovered within a 800 km or 2,400 km radius (depending on the transportation mean used). The percentages of compliant materials are shown in the table below: FRECH DOOR MODELS % Materials extracted, collected, treated and recovered within a 800 km or 2,400 km radius (depending on the transportation mean used). OVOLO MOULDING SQUARE MOULDING 52.45% 58.86% The percentage calculation was performed by considering the requirements of Credit and the maximum distance radius (which depends on the means of transportation used). The origin of the main s and the mean of transportation used must be validated for every project. The from MILETTE DOORS final manufacturing site is located in Quebec, St-Boniface de Shawinigan (J0X 2L0). PAGE 4

5 POINTS MATÉRIALS AND RESOURCES (MR) POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTION S DURABLE STRATEGIES POTENTIAL POINTS preferable products: Low emissions Preferable Products (0.5 point each, maximum of 8 points) Use building materials that meet one or more of the criteria below. Except as noted in Table 24, a material must make up 90% of the by weight or volume. A single that meets each criterion (i.e., environmentally preferable, low emissions, and local sourcing) can earn points for each. Low emissions (0.5 point per ). Hard flooring : automatic 0.5 point for 90% hard surface flooring. Additional 0.5 point for using a product that is SCS FloorScore-certified The credit IEQ 4.1 only applies to adhesives and sealants used on-site and on the interior of the building (inside the vapor barrier). The adhesives used in the manufacturing of from MILETTE DOORS are factory-applied and thus don t have to meet the requirements for this credit.
