Some important points:There are NO LEED certifi ed products.
A product CAN NOT GIVE you LEED project points.
A product CAN CONTRIBUTE TOWARD or COMPLY WITH LEED credit requirements.
LEED NC points for a project are obtained from a variety of sources/categories:
Site planning - Sustainable Sites (SS Credits) (14 pts)
Water management - Water Effi ciency (WE Credits) (5 pts)
Energy performance - Energy & Atmosphere (EA Credits) (17 pts)
Indoor air quality - Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ Credits) (15 pts)
Material use - Material & Resources (MR Credits) (13 pts)
Additional - Innovation & Design (ID Credits) (5 pts)
69 total point possible
Products fall into two categories: Contribution Credits or Compliance Credits.
Contribution Credits – are based on the total project material costs. The contribution of a product to obtain credit is evaluated against the requirements in the Material & Resources Credit Section of the applicable LEED standard. This is where our products (like SkyBlend or UltraBlend particleboard and SkyBlend or Synergite MDF) containing (either post-consumer or pre-consumer) recycled fi ber can contribute toward MR Credit 4.1 and 4.2 This is also where any of our products, depending on where they are manufactured, might contribute toward MR Credit 5.1 and 5.2 which requires use of “Regional Materials”. Another contribution credit that pertains to some of our products is MR Credit 7.0 which requires use of Certifi ed Wood. This is where our FSC certifi ed products might contribute toward credit.
Compliance Credits – are based on a product or materials ability to meet the strict guidelines set forth in the credit requirements. Roseburg products that fi t here are SkyPly and SkyBlend panels when they comply with EQ Credit 4.4 for low emitting materials which requires that a composite wood product contain no added urea-formaldehyde resins.

Roseburg makes decisions for the long term. We are dedicated to providing quality wood products today and in the future and are committed to the sustainability of our natural resources for future generations.
We meet our commitment to sustainability:
We practice excellence in forest management, by harvesting sustainably and investing in our timberlands for the future.
We offer products that have no added urea formaldehyde.
We produce a broad array of products that are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Envi-ronmentally Preferable Product (EPP) certifi ed.
Roseburg’s 180,000 acres of California timber-lands are certifi ed by the FSC to be sustainably managed.
We plant over 5 million tree seedlings annually.
Roseburg partners with Oregon State Univer-sity, state and federal agencies on watershed research, restoration and enhancement.

Carbon Footprint
No time has been better to tell the story of sustainable forestry managementand the wood products industry, especially here at Roseburg. The amount of carbon produced by manufacturing wood products is far less than that of steel or concrete. (supported by the Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials *Global Warming Potential) Every wood product we produce sequesters carbon by serving as a carbon storage facility. In addition, the electricity we produce is considered to be carbon neutral and actually reduces carbon emissions by replacing electricity that would otherwise be generated by burning highly concentrated coal.
We manage our natural resources with a long-term stewardship perspective that includes planting 5 million seedlings annually.
We divert nearly 150,000 tons of material from lo-cal landfi lls each year for conversion to renewable energy or recycled products.
Our biomass cogeneration plants use wood waste material from local landfi lls and our mills to produce clean energy for our manufacturing plants and nearby communities.
We are aggressively reducing energy consumption in all our operations, including partnering with the Energy Trust of Oregon for many projects.
•

Objective studies show:
“Promotion of wood products can act as a greener alternative to more fossil-fuel intensive materials. Substituting a cubic meter of wood for other construction materials (concrete block or bricks) results in the signifi cant average of 0.75 to 1 tonne of CO2 savings.” (International Institute for Environment and Development, Using Wood Products to Mitigate Climate Change, 2004.)
One study, conducted by the Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials, examined the impact of using wood, steel and concrete in residential construction. Homes, framed with wood and steel, were compared in Minneapolis and homes, framed with wood and concrete, were compared in Atlanta – the framing types most common to each city. In both cases, the wood-framed homes required less energy (from extraction through maintenance) and had less impact on global warming.

Our Resource Stewardship
We are committed to sustainable forest management on our timberlands.
Roseburg employs professional foresters, engineers,
biometrician and technicians to insure the successful
management of our sustainable forests.
Currently, Roseburg owns and manages over
640,000 acres of sustainable forest lands
throughout Oregon and California.
We plan and execute only the most effi cient harvesting
and reforestation practices. Since we own
our own resources, we understand the important role
that private forestlands play on our society
and strive to manage our resources in a responsible
manner. In fact, each year we plant over 5 million new trees.
As a result of our excellent management, our harvest
units are rapidly transitioned into young, healthy forests of native conifers within two to three years of
harvest. Our managed forest landscape
is not only productive but also diverse, healthy and full of vigorously growing young trees, which
produce oxygen and sequester large amounts
of carbon.

“Sustainability is the achievement of policies and procedures which are environmentally sound, economically viable and socially just.” -The University of Wisconsin- Madison, Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems
2004 Fish and Wildlife Steward Award
Southwest Oregon Industrial Forest Lands - presented by
the Oregon Department of Forestry/Oregon Fish and Wildlife
Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds
Roseburg proactively participates in the plan directly and indirectly with our local watershed council and ODFW
partners. We annually execute stream placement,
riparian retention, road erosion control, fi sh passage and monitoring projects. The Roseburg investment value in this endeavor is 3 million dollars, spread over 700 projects.
Watershed Research Cooperative
Roseburg is the founding member of this broadly
supported industrial and non-industrial landowner, state agency,
county government, and scientifi c community project. Starting
with Hinkle Creek Paired Watershed Study, located on 5000 acres of company lands, and now expanded to include
two other sister studies, the cooperative research is developing new knowledge to fi ll in the gaps on modern
science, based on forest management practices and their
infl uence on fi sh and watershed quality at a
watershed scale.

Where to Buy :
Roseburg introduces SkyBlend™ MDF, the newest panels in our line of NAUF products. SkyBlend™ MDF is a Green specified, high-quality, light-colored medium density fiber–board (MDF) panel. The uniformity of SkyBlend™ MDF is ensured by the predominant use of Southern Pine which is refined and then bonded in a RF (radio frequency)/steam-heated multi-opening press.SkyBlend™ MDF is omnidirectional, so it can be shaped and finished without grain and pitting problems. Its homogeneous mat structure ensures uniformity of density between the surfaces without a loose core. The random fiber orientation increases strength and impact resistances and eliminates the built-in stress that can cause warping. Panel is manufactured with no added urea formaldehyde (NAUF). The homogeneous core makes it especially suitable for all types of edgeshaping and finishing applications, including painting, foiling and soft-forming. Southern Pine fibers retain their original chemicals, which provide a natural sealing effect when sanding, burnishing or embossing. Uniform density allows the pine fibers to compress and flow when subjected to heat and pressure in the embossing press. Premium machined core panel for membrane press applications with the thinnest of films and veneers. SkyBlend MDF’s high quality substrate is ideal for use in critical application such as RTF doors and other vinyl clad components.

Q: What is the new California formaldehyde regulation?A: In April 2007, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency, voted to implement new limits for formaldehyde emitted from composite wood products. These new limits will be implemented in two phases starting January 1, 2009. When the fi nal limits are fully in place in 2012, the regulation will establish the toughest production standard in the world for formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products. The California regulation governs the formaldehyde in both raw composite wood panels and fi nished products sold or used in California. Both imported and domestic products are regulated and must be third–party certifi ed and clearly labeled to indicate they meet California’s requirements.
Q: What composite wood products are covered by the new regulation?A: The regulation applies to hardwood plywood, particleboard, and medium density fi berboard (MDF) and all products (such as furniture, cabinets, fl ooring, store fi xtures, mouldings and millwork, countertops, decorative household items, doors, etc.) made with those products. Composite wood is a popular material for consumer products because of its design fl exibility, structural properties, and inherent environmental benefi ts. In particular, particleboard and MDF are manufactured from recycled and recovered wood residuals and other by–products diverted from the solid waste stream, making them among the greenest building materials in the world.

While plantations can provide an array of social and economic benefi ts, and can contribute to satisfying the world’s needs for forest products, they should complement the management of, reduce pressures on, and promote the restoration and conservation of natural forests.
Third-Party Certifi cation Scientifi c Certifi cation Systems (SCS) developed its Forest Conservation Program in 1991 and has since emerged as a leading certifi er of forest management operations and wood product manufacturers. In 1996, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accredited SCS as a certifi cation body, enabling it to evaluate forests according to the FSC Principles and Criteria for Forest Stewardship.
Forest Management Certifi cationWith an eye to maintaining the world’s forestlands for the benefi t of future generations, evaluation of forestland management under the SCS Forest Conservation Program focuses on the long-term sustainability of the forest environment, including the human dimensions of that environment.
For each certifi cation audit, an interdisciplinary evaluation team of experts in forest science and management is assembled. The team typically includes SCS staff and contract consultants with regionally-based expertise in relevant disciplines (e.g., forestry, sociology, biology-ecology, economics, wildlife, etc.).
Chain-of-Custody Certifi cation Before a product may carry an FSC or SCS label, all stages of the production, distribution, and sale of the product must be independently evaluated. Wood must be tracked from the certifi ed forest to the fi nished product. www.scscertifi ed.com
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
The Composite Panel Association (CPA) Environmentally Preferable Product (EPP) Grademark Program has been developed to provide independent certifi cation of wood composite products that are demonstrably environmentally preferable through their use of recycled and/or recovered furnish and adherence to voluntarily lower formaldehyde emission standards than government regulations. The Program includes requirements for initial qualifi cation for product certifi cation, plant quality control procedures and periodic inspections by CPA - all designed to reasonably assure that certifi ed composite panel products meet the Program’s specifi cations.
Environmentally Preferable Products, as defi ned by Federal Executive Order 13101, are “products and services (that) have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared to other products and services that serve the same purpose.” Furthermore, various states have adopted policies promoting sustainability to “reduce adverse impacts on natural habitats and species.” CPA has adopted a voluntary Environmentally Preferable Product Specifi cation (EPPS) (CPA 3-08) to promote the fulfi llment of these goals. CPA will certify products to this EPPS within its accredited and independently conducted Grademark Program. www.pbmdf.com
