Materials contributing to the option must represent at least three product types. The scope of any Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is required to be at least cradle to gate. Industry Wide (Generic) EPD Third party certified Type III Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), including external verification, where the manufacturer is explicitly recognized by the program operator, calculated at cost. Product Specific Declaration Products with a publically available, critically reviewed Life Cycle Assessment compliant with ISO 21930, calculated at half of their cost; or products carrying a Third party certified Type III Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) including external verification. Materials, calculated at twice their cost. AND/OR OPTION 3. Multi-Attribute Assessment (1 point) Use a minimum of 50%, by cost, permanently installed non-structural products meeting at least one of the attributes below. Products may contribute toward multiple attributes listed below. If only a fraction of a 16 All Environmental Product Declarations must to consistent with International Standards Organization (ISO) 14025, 14040, and Product Specific is manufacturer specific for a product family, e.g. one line of flooring has an LCA/EPD and all colors and styles fall under that LCA/EPD.

35 product or material meets the requirements, then only the fraction, based on weight, contributes toward credit. Furniture as well as piping, pipe insulation, ducts, duct insulation, conduit, plumbing fixtures, faucets, shower heads, and lamp housing may be included if they are included consistently within cost based Materials and Resources credits. Wood products purchased for temporary use on the project (e.g. formwork, bracing, scaffolding, sidewalk protection, and guardrails) may not be included in the calculation. Materials Reuse Use salvaged, refurbished or reused non-structural products in the project. AND/OR Recycled Content with Extended Producer Responsibility Use non-structural products with recycled content 18 purchased from a manufacturer (producer) that has a closed-loop 19 product recycling program. Recycled content is the sum of postconsumer 20 recycled content plus 1/2 of the preconsumer 21 (post-industrial) recycled content based on cost. AND/OR Support Local Economy Use nonstructural building products that are manufactured and purchased within the Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA), as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget 22 updated December 1, 2009, 23 in which the project is located. For projects 29 Recycled content is defined in accordance with the International Organization of Standards document ISO Environmental labels and declarations Self-declared environmental claims (Type II environmental labeling) 19 Closed loop programs are those of product producer or manufactures that accept either its products or the products or other manufacturers in order to process materials at the end of their useful life to be recycled back into a similar product category. Programs must be available to a substantial majority of communities notionally. 30 Postconsumer material is defined as waste material generated by households of 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. 31 Preconsumer (post industrial) material is 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. 22 The OMB defines a Core Based Statistical Area as one or more adjacent counties or county equivalents that have at least one urban core area of at least 10,000 population, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties. The 942 Core Based Statistical Areas currently defined by the OMB include the 366 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), which have an urban core population of at least 50,000, and the 576 Micropolitan Statistical Areas (μsas), which have an urban core population of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000.

36 located outside a prescribed CBSA, or outside the U.S., products shall be purchased within 50 miles of the project site. CI, CI RETAIL, CI HOSPITALITY Achieve one or more of the options below, for a maximum of three points. Furniture and furnishings that are within project s scope of work must be include in credit calculations. OPTION 1: Design for Flexibility (1 points) Conduct an integrative planning process to increase the useful life of the project space. Increase project space flexibility, ease of adaptive reuse, and recycling of building materials while considering differential durability and premature obsolescence 24 over building design life and individual component service lives. Use at least 3 of the following strategies: Accessible systems (floor or ceiling) for at least 50% of the project gross floor area 25 allow for flexible use of space and access to systems (under floor distribution systems) not entangled with other building systems. A minimum of 50% of interior non-structural walls, ceilings and floors are moveable or demountable. (access flooring, etc) A minimum of 50% by cost of non-structural materials have a method of retaining information for flexibility in the project space. At least one major component or systems purchase contract includes sub-contractor, vendor, or on site packaging take back system A minimum of 50% of non-structural materials by cost are reusable or recyclable per FTC Guide for Use of Environmental Marketing claims, (d) Implement a flexible power distribution (i.e. plug and play) systems for a minimum of 50% of the project gross floor area that allow for reconfiguring and repurposing of key systems such as lighting, data, voice, and. OPTION 2. Life Cycle Impact Disclosure (1 point) Use a minimum of 20%, by cost, permanently installed non-structural products and elements meeting at least one of the criteria below. Piping, pipe insulation, ducts, duct insulation, conduit, plumbing fixtures, faucets, shower heads, and lamp housing may be included if they are included consistently within the credit. Wood products purchased for temporary use on 24 premature obsolescence means that components or materials have a longer service life than the design life, so that for example a material with a life of 30 years is used in design intended to last only 15 years - it is made prematurely obsolete and its remaining 15 years of service is potentially wasted. Preferable is to match design life with components that have service life same as expected use, so they are utilized to their maximum potential. 25 BS 6750: 1986 Specification for modular coordination in building
