Sustainable Stress |
| SS4.1.2 Reduced Heat Islands |
Light-colored/high-albedo materials
(initial reflectance ≥0.3) for 50% of the site's hardscapes. |
Tile products, especially light-colored
ones, have higher reflectance than traditional paving materials. |
Materials
and Waste Management |
| ME2.1 Construction Site Waste Management |
Recycle, compost, and/or salvage 50% (1 point)
or 75% (2 points) (by weight) non-hazardous construction debris. |
Tile, an inert product, is non-hazardous and
can be hauled away for various uses, including clean fill. |
| ME3.2 Building Reuse-Interior Nonstructural |
Use existing on-site non-shell elements (walls,
floor coverings, ceiling systems, etc.) in 50% of building (1
point). |
Tiled surfaces from previous building occupants
can be salvaged and included in these calculations. |
| ME4.1 Recycled Content |
Use at least 4 specified product types (from
CHPS table A4) or 10% total building recycled content (1 point);
or use at least eight specified product types or 20% total building
recycled content. |
Table A4: ceramic flooring – 45% recycled
content; glass flooring – 50% recycled content; glass countertops – 50%
recycled content; ceramic countertops – 45% recycled content.
Recycled content = post + ½ pre-consumer. |
| ME4.4 Salvaged Materials |
Use salvaged or refurbished materials for
5% of building products or 25% of one of the CHPS prescriptive
materials (1 point); or use salvaged or refurbished materials
for 10% of building products or 50% of one (or 25% of two) of
the CHPS prescriptive materials (2 points). |
CHPS prescriptive materials for which salvaged/refurbished
products can be used include flooring, casework, acoustical ceiling
tile, wall covering, and tile. |
| ME6.1 Environmental Performance Reporting |
Each material already earning
points in various ME or EQ categories: earn 1 additional point
(max 2 materials) if ISO 14025 or 21930 declarations are made;
or earn 2 additional points (max 2 materials) if declarations
show impact reductions. |
Consult with tile and installation material
manufacturers to discover products for which ISO 14025 or 21930
Environmental Product Declarations have been made. |
Low Emitting
Materials |
| EQ2.2 Low Emitting Materials |
All adhesives and sealants compliant with
SCAQMD Rule 1168 (1 point); all flooring systems compliant with
CDPH standard practice (1 point);all ceiling and wall systems
compliant with CDPH standard practice (1 point). |
Ceramic tile flooring systems are available
for credit without any testing requirements. Ceramic tile wall
coverings are available for credit without any testing requirements. |
