| GSA | P100: Finish Selections for Indoor Air Quality
Architectural paints, coatings, and primers applied to interior walls, ceilings and/or porous materials (including wood). | VOC's are less than 50 g/L. Does not contain any materials or chemicals in the Materials to Avoid section of P100. No-Burn® products are not classified as halogenated flame retardants. |
| MPI-GPS 2 | Low VOC <50 g/L, interior flat |
| ICC-700-2008 NGBS/Green Scoring Tool | 601.2 Material Usage | Design and construction practices that minimize the environmental impact of the building materials are incorporated, environmentally efficient building systems and materials are incorporated, and waste generated during construction is reduced. Alternative methods and material are possible through the use of intumescent paints and fire retardant coatings. |
| 605.1 Construction Waste Management Plan | Waste generated during construction is recycled. A construction waste management plan is developed, posted at the jobsite, and implemented with a goal of recycling or salvaging a minimum of 50% (by weight) of construction and land-clearing waste. Product packaging, including pails, are recyclable plastic (HDPE 2).
|
| 605.3 Recycled Construction Waste | Waste generated during construction is recycled. Construction materials (e.g., wood, cardboard, metals, drywall, plastic, asphalt roofing shingles, or concrete) are recycled offsite. Product packaging, including pails, are recyclable plastic
(HDPE 2).
|
