| 503.1 Construction material and waste management plan
| Not less than 50 percent of nonhazardous construction waste shall be diverted from disposal, except where other percentages are indicated in Table 302.1. A Construction Material and Waste Management Plan shall be developed and implemented to recycle or salvage construction materials and waste. Products are nonhazardous and product packaging, including pails and quart bottles, are recyclable plastic (HDPE 2).
|
505.2.3 Recyclable building materials and building components
| Building materials and building components that can be recycled into the same material or another material with a minimum recovery rate of not less than 30 percent through recycling and reprocessing or reuse, or building materials shall be recyclable through an established, nationally available closed loop manufacturer’s take-back program. Product packaging, including pails and quart bottles, are recyclable plastic (HDPE 2).
|
505.2.5 Indigenous materials
| Indigenous materials or components shall be composed of resources that are recovered, harvested, extracted and manufactured within a 500 mile (800 km) radius of the building site. Where only a portion of a material or product is recovered, harvested, extracted and manufactured within 500 miles (800 km), only that portion shall be included.
|
806.3 (1) Architectural paints and coatings/806.3 (2)
| A minimum of 85 percent by weight or volume, of site-applied interior architectural coatings shall comply with VOC content limits in Table 806.3(1) or the alternate emissions limits in Table 806.3(2). Table 806.3(2) architectural coating alternate emissions standards compliance shall be determined utilizing test methodology incorporated by reference in the CDPH/EHLB/Standard Method V.1.1, Standard Method for Testing VOC Emissions From Indoor Sources, dated February 2010.

| 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, L, RG
| Low VOC <50 g/L, interior flat. Meets LEED and RG (OTC or EC) standards.
|
| ICC 700 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).
|
| 901.8.2 Indoor Environmental Quality | Site-applied interior products are in accordance with the emissions levels of CDPH 01350, as certified by a third party program. |
| AQMD | Rule 314
| Compliant with Rule to recover the District's cost of implementing the architectural coatings program and programs related to architectural coating. This rule applies to architectural coatings manufacturers that distribute or sell their manufactured architectural coatings into or within the District.
|
| Rule 1113 | Intumescent paints and fire retardant coatings are in compliance with EPA Method 24 meeting current/proposed VOC levels for architectural, flat coatings. |
| MPI | GPS-2, L, RG
| Low VOC <50 g/L, interior flat. Meets LEED and RG (OTC or EC) standards.
