Category: Indoor Environment Quality

Points are potentially available in:– IEQ: Volatile Organic Compounds– IEQ: Formaldehyde Minimisation

IEQ: Volatile Organic Compounds

• Paints– Wood veneer panels clear coatings

• Adhesives / Sealants– Veneer panels adhesives

• Carpets / Floor covering– Solid timber floor coatings– Laminate flooring adhesives

IEQ: Formaldehyde Minimisation

Composite wood products:– Plywood, particleboard and MDF

• Does not include:– Any composite wood used in exterior (e.g. façade) – Formwork– Internal car park– Reused items– Raw timber

• Does not mention:– LVL (laminated veneer lumber), I-beams,

• Low-emission formaldehyde OR No emission formaldehyde – 1 point

• All composite wood products used in the project must be in accordance with these requirements.

• Basically:– MDF and plywood <1.0 mg/l (max)– Particleboard <1.5 mg/L (max)

Office Interiors V3.3– Additional 1 point for:

• ≤ 0.3 mg/L (mean) – 0.4 mg/L (max)• Same limit for all composite wood products

– Japanese standard and test method F**** [F4star]– Regarded as most stringent standard in the world– All Australian-made structural, marine, external

plywood and LVL would meet

“Please be aware that the GBCA has moved away from all references to ‘E grades’ (e.g. E1, E0, Super E0) and now refers to compliance according to the emission limit values only.”

Category: Materials (MAT)

• Building Reuse• Timber• Design for Deconstruction• Fitout:

– Furniture– Flooring– Assemblies

MAT: Building Reuse

Building Reuse – 6 points

MAT: Building Reuse

MAT: Sustainable Timber / Timber

MAT: Timber

2 points available for projects registered before 1st January 2010≥ 95% (by cost) of timber must be either:

– FSC certified– Reused/recycled timber– or a combination of the above

MAT: Timber

1 point only available for projects registered from 1st January 2010≥ 95% (by cost) of timber must be either:

– PEFC certified– FSC certified– Reused/recycled timber– or a combination of the above

Criteria for two points - pending

MAT: Timber - PEFC

PEFC – Programme for Endorsement of Forests Certification

• Endorses schemes in North America, Europe, Malaysia

• Endorses Australian Forestry Certification Scheme’s Australian Forestry Standard (AFS)

MAT: Timber - FSC

FSC – Forest Stewardship Council• Big in New Zealand, Canada, South

America, Europe• Active in Indonesia (MoU with LEI)• Interim Australian forest management

Standard• Certifies small area of plantations

(mostly for pulp/paper) in Australia

MAT: Timber – PEFC vs FSC

• Equivalence for legality and sustainability recently reconfirmed by independent reviews for UK, German Governments

• PEFC and FSC both accepted by Italian Green Building Council

MAT: Timber – Chain of Custody (CoC)

• “Refer to the relevant forest certification scheme's CoC guidelines/standard for guidance on how to provide CoC documentation that will meet credit criteria”

• Fundamental difference in CoC:– PEFC CoC based on suitable marking– FSC CoC based on ownership

MAT: Design for Disassembly

MAT: Fitout products

e.g. Flooring, joinery, wall assemblies Material calculatorsCurrent system:• To get points must meet either:

– Recognised standards by recognised bodies:– i.e. a “certified product”– e.g. Panel standard of GECA

– OR Criteria in materials calculators

Note - A product that is not certified could achieve 100% of available points in Material Calculators.

MAT: Fitout products

Flooring, furniture, assembliesFuture System• From early 2011 • To get points these must meet revised criteria

in materials calculators

MAT: Fitout products - criteria

• Criterion 1: Re-used items• Criterion 2: Product stewardship• Criterion 3: Certified products• Criterion 4: Re-used, recycled or certified

content• Criterion 5: Environmental management

systems

Criterion 3: Certified productsA “certified product” is a product that meet GBCA recognised standards by GBCA recognised bodies:

– E.g. Raw Panel standard of GECA,

Note - A product that is not certified could achieve 100% of available points in Material Calculators.

Criterion 4: Re-used, recycled or certified contentPEFC or FSC certified wood products (with CoC) are recognised as “certified content”

MAT: Fitout – Calculators

Current Materials Fitout Calculators Relevant Fitout Calculator (early 2011)

Workstations, Chairs, Tables, Storage and Loose Furniture

Materials Calculator 2.0 - Furniture

Walls & Partitions, Joinery and Internal Walls

Materials Calculator 2.0 - Assemblies

Flooring Materials Calculator 2.0 - Flooring

Category: Innovation (INN)

• Not a weighted category• Goes onto your points as they are earnt• Possible 1 point available

INN: Environmental Design Initiatives

1 point• Whole-of-building life cycle assessment (LCA)• LCA recognises the embodied GHG emissions from

construction materials (and their transport)• Currently not in the scope of all materials in Green Star tools

Carbon calculators can be used to estimate:

– Amount of carbon(and carbon dioxide) stored in the building

– Avoided carbon emissions from using wood instead of alternatives

e.g. NZ Wood
