PQP-SM Flashcards
Chemical being addressed by SM-R1
Asbestos Containing materials (ACM) and Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCM)
Credit requirements for SM-R2
- Develop CDWMP;
- Monthly monitoring of CDWMP and achieve min final recycling/ salvage rate of 30% of construction and demolition waste (by weight or volume)
What is not included in SM-R2 and SM-14?
Hazardous waste
What should be developed from the concept stage to attain SM-R3 credit?
Operational Waste Strategy
Color codes for waste segregation
Green- plastic, glass and metals;
Blue-paper and cardboard;
Black- non-recyclable and non- compostable organic waste;
Optional container for compostable organic waste
Required distance to carry waste containers to the nearest collection point inside or outside the building
May not exceed 30 m
What should be addressed in the narrative submitted for design rating of SM-R3 strategy?
Waste minimization; storage; collection; treatment and links to private or municipal and regional infrastructure and programs
Where can you obtain waste benchmarks under SM-R3?
Center of Waste Management
Under SM-1, Credits can be earned on which areas?
Zero ODP, Low Insulation; Chlorine Free Materials; Low Toxicity Materials
ODP and GWP values for all thermal insulation and the blowing agent used.
ODP=0; GWP</=5
Dual function surfaces on SM-2 can be used through:
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV); Vegetated Roofs; Vegetated Walls
One of the requirements for this credit is to demonstrate that 90% of the pipe, wiring and conduits are not permanently embedded in building materials.
SM-3
What should be developed to achieve SM-4?
Building Disassembly Plan
What are the environmental characteristics of the proposed flooring product to achieved SM-5?
30% min post-consumer recyled content;
Fully or partially recyclable;
Rapidly renewable or extracted, harvested or recovered and manufacured locally as per SM-9
This plan should be developed and implemented to optimize the integrity of the building envelope under SM-6.
Building Durability Plan (BDP)
SM-7 credit is calculated based on:
surface area
Material reuse is calculated based on
cost
What is the distance requirement to attain SM-9 credit?
Not greater than 500 km from the furthest point of origin to the project site
Define furthest point of origin.
The longest distance to the project site from the point of extraction, harvest or recovery or the point of manufacture
Can any materials sent by airfreight at any point qualify SM-9 credit point?
No
Define distance traveled
calculated as distance traveled by road or rail + 0.1x distance traveled by sea
How are the materials in SM-10 calculated?
Recycled steel- % by weight; Cement replacement-embodied GHG emmissions using Estidama Concrete GHG Calculator; Recycled Aggregates-% volume; Other Materials- % by cost
Growth cycle of materials under SM-11.
Less than 10 years
What credit requires COC?
SM-12: Reused or Certified Timber
