28 Sustainable Sites Other re-use possibilities: Solar collectors Wind Farm Reservoirs Green Building & LEED Requirements 28

29 Materials and Resources Credit focuses on minimizing the embodied energy and other impacts associated with extraction, processing, transport, maintenance and disposal of building materials. Supports a life-cycle approach that improves performance and promotes resource efficiency. Green Building & LEED Requirements 29

30 Stone, Sand and Gravel Products Concrete aggregates Asphalt fillers and extenders Crushed stone base materials Finish materials (flooring, walls, countertops, etc.) Filler (carpets, drywall, etc.) Waterfront shoring - rip rap. Landscaping decorative, soil amendments (lime). Septic Systems Permeable paving Green Building & LEED Requirements 30

31 Location Valuation Factor Added value to locally produced products. Products and materials that are extracted, manufactured and purchased within 100 miles Valued at 200% of their cost if they meet distance requirements and at least one sustainable criteria Valued at 100% of their cost if they meet sustainability but not distance. Distance is measured as the crow flies. Green Building & LEED Requirements 31

35 Life Cycle Assessment A compilation and evaluation of the inputs and outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life-cycle. The entire process is examined cradle to grave - raw materials extraction, including transportation, use, maintenance and end of life (recycling/re-use) ISO International Standard, Environmental management, Life cycle assessment, principles and framework (Geneva, Switzerland: International Organization for Standardization, 2006).
