  2. Going Green … and knowing the difference

  3. Objective • General overview of the LEED rating systems • An understanding of the role furniture can play • What are the concerns outside of LEED • What questions to expect and why

  4. Trend • People want to make wiser product selections based on sustainable materials and processes and air quality

  5. Things to understand • Challenge “environmental friendly” statements • Look at “Life cycle” cost verse “First time” cost • Understand Greenwashing and look for 3rd party certifications • Look for low emitting products • Look for easy to clean with common products • Occupancy and operation are biggest cost • LEED certifies Buildings not product

  6. Important Environmental steps • Use less energy • Conserve water resources • Emit fewer pollutants (such as greenhouse gases, airborne pollutants, liquid effluents, and/or solid waste) • Provide a healthier indoor environment for occupants • Bring in the daylight • Incorporate user controls where possible, air, lighting

  7. KI’s 3 step process • Manufacturing Process • Material selection • Design & Engineering of product

  8. Resources to research • CHPS-Collaborative for High Performance Schools • http://www.chps.net • GGHC-Green Guide for Healthcare • www.gghc.org • Green Globes • www.greenglobes.com • USGBC- LEED Green Building links • http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CMSPageID=76#12 • Greener Buildings • www.greenerbuildings.com • Building Green • www.buildinggreen.com

  9. UNITED STATES GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL • Now 15 years old • Growth to 20,000 plus corporate members • http://usgbc.org

  10. What is the LEED System? Scores are tallied for different aspects of efficiency and design in appropriate categories. For instance, LEED assesses in detail: 1. Site Planning 2. Water Management 3. Energy Management 4. Material Use 5. Indoor Environmental Air Quality 6. Innovation & Design Process LEADERSHIP in ENERGY and ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN A leading-edge system for certifying DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, & OPERATIONS of the greenest buildings in the world Test

  11. LEED-NC(New Construction) Retail Campus Lodging Schools Healthcare Laboratories LEED-EB(Existing Buildings) LEED-CI(Commercial Interiors) LEED-CS(Core & Shell) LEED-H(Homes) LEED-ND(Neighborhood Development) LEED: Leadership in Energy & Environmental DesignRating Systems & Application Guides

  12. LEED 2009 – V3 • 100 Points + 10 Bonus points • Innovation in Design = 6 • Regional Priority = 4 • Four levels of certification • Certified – 40-49 points • Silver – 50-59 points • Gold – 60-79 points • Platinum – 80 + points

  13. Additional construction costs

  14. Role Furniture Plays • Recycled content • Construction waste management • Regional materials • Rapidly renewable materials • Certified wood • Indoor air quality • Daylight and views • Design for Flexibility • Level Certification

  15. Recycled content • Recycled content • Pre-consumer • Post consumer • MR credit 4 • Sum of post consumer plus ½ of the pre-consumer-weight converted to cost • 10% = 1 point • 20% = 2 points • 30% = ID 1 point

  16. Product description Material content Recycled content Post consumer Pre-consumer Basic construction Environmental Data Sheets

  17. Managing Construction Waste • Packaging materials are highest percent of recycled fiber • All marked with recycle symbols • Blanket wrapped options • Polystyrene replaces Styrofoam for corner blocking • MR Credit 2 • 50% = 1 point • 75% = 2 points • Calculate by weight or volume

  18. Regional Materials (500 MILES) • Manufacturing Facilities • - Green Bay, WI 54302 • Manufactures ergonomic task seating and stack chairs, and tables. • - Bonduel, WI 54107 • Production of seating and site furnishings. • - Manitowoc, WI 54220 • Production of architectural walls and systems furniture. • Fort Atkinson, WI 53538 • Spacesaver filing and storage systems. • - High Point, NC 27260 • Manufacturer of lounge seating, executive seating, and occasional tables. • - Pontotoc, MS 38863 • Production of tables, caddies and folding chairs. • -Tupelo, MS 38801 • Production of classroom furniture, components, chairs and stools. • -Pembroke, Ontario Canada K8A 6X7 • Production of filing and storage systems. MR Credit 5 – Based on Value 20% value manufactured = 1 point 10% value extracted & manufactured =2 points 20% value extracted & manufactured =1-ID point

  19. Rapidly Renewable Materials • Grown and harvested in 10 years or less • Wheatboard • Soyboard • Sunflower board • Linoleum • Cork • Bamboo board • Rubberwood • Bio-based Plastics • Soy and PET Foams MR Credit 6 5% of total value of the product = 1 point

  20. Certified Wood • Certified in accordance with FSC- Forest Stewardship Council • Currently available only as a special • Cost increase of 5-15% • SCS-COC-002476 • MR Credit 7 • 50% new wood value/cost = 1 point • 95% new wood value/cost =1 ID point

  21. Indoor Air Quality • Low-emitting materials • Systems and task and guest seating product • Two Greenguard labels • CARB requirements for formaldehydes • IEQ Credit 4.5 = 1 point • IEQ Credit 4.5 for Schools = 1 point * *Applies to teacher and student desk/tables and seating only *New LEED for HC is adopting
