You would think that labels that are just “Declared” would be the least valued here, because they’re lowest on in the Declare Program pecking order, but it doesn’t work that way. Red List Free and Declared labels both count for LEED. “LBC Compliant” labels might or might not count, depending on the disclosure threshold. See LEEDuser’s Documentation Toolkit for details.
Not any HPD counts. To qualify, the HPD has to include disclosure down to 1,000 parts per million or 0.1% for Option 1, and to 100 parts per million for Option 2. It also must show how residuals or unintentionally added substances are addressed, and meet several other specific conditions that vary depending on which version of the HPD it is. These are spelled out in graphically in guidance documents on the HPD Collaborative website.
No, they don’t have to reveal everything. They have to account for everything down to 0.1%, or 1,000 parts per million, but they don’t have to identify everything if they’re using the “Manufacturer Inventory” or HPD pathways. They have the option of listing some ingredients as “proprietary,” but even for those they still have to identify what the function of that substance is in the product and what health hazards it represents, if any.
This example provides a structure for the phase-out or conversion plan required for projects with HVAC&R systems that used CFC-based refrigerants.
This equipment label highlights key information (and conversion calculations) needed to complete the refrigerant inventory worksheet. Note that collecting all data points is only required if you’re documenting the credit; the prerequisite requires much less detail.
Use this worksheet to develop an inventory of your project’s HVAC&R equipment. The information collected in this worksheet should be used to populate the prerequisite and credits forms related to refrigerant management.
Use this template to develop a waste management plan for each facility renovation project that takes place during your performance period. Remember that this plan must be customized for your specific project, and that all waste types and quantities shown are examples only.
