Replace the definition of "solar reflectance (SR)" with "the fraction of solar energy that is reflected by a surface on a scale of 0 to 1. Black paint has a solar reflectance of 0; white paint (titanium dioxide) has a solar reflectance of 1. The standard technique for its determination uses spectrophotometric measurements, with an integrating sphere to determine the reflectance at each wavelength. The average reflectance is then determined by an averaging process, using a standard solar spectrum, as documented by ASTM Standards E903 and E892."

In the second sentence, delete "Particularly in urban areas"; revise the last clause so that it reads, "Other sources may include vehicle exhaust, air-conditioners, and street equipment. Reduced airflow because of tall buildings and narrow streets exacerbate the effect."

Replace the definition of "attendance boundary" with "The attendance boundary is the limit used by school districts to determine what school students attend based on where they live."

ad-100001726

Replace the definition of "U value" with "describes how well a building element conducts heat. It measures the rate of heat transfer through a building element over a given area, under standardized conditions. The greater the U-value, the less efficient the building element is as an insulator. The inverse of (1 divided by) the U-value is the R-value."

Replace the definition of "chain-of-custody (COC)" with "the path taken by raw materials, processed materials, and products from the forest to the consumer, including all successive stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing and distribution. A chain-of-custody certificate number on invoices for nonlabeled products indicates that the certifier's guidelines for product accounting have been followed.

ad-100001708

Replace the definition of "postconsumer material" with "waste generated by end users (households or commercial, industrial and institutional facilities) of a product no longer able to be used for its intended purpose that is recycled into raw material for a new product."

Add a bullet to the end of the list that reads:
- Sports field lighting (including Schools projects) is not exempt from the credit requirements.

Revise the text below Figure 2 (that begins with "The landscape water allowance...") to read:
"The landscape water allowance (30% below baseline minimum) equals 43,980 gallons a month. The landscape water requirement for this design in this location is 15,939 gallons a month. The total savings without alternative water sources equals 75%. The project achieves the credit and earns 1 point.

In step 3, revise the first bullet so it reads: Collect documentation confirming that all products have been tested and certified by an approved third party. (see Further Explanation, Testing Programs).

In Further Explanation, Testing Programs, delete Table 1.

After the first paragraph, add the following:

For an expanded reference of international locations, ASHRAE 169-2013 Table A-5 (Canada) or Table A-6 (International) may be consulted. ASHRAE 169-2013 subdivides Climate Zone 1 into two climate zones (Climate Zone 1 and Climate Zone 0). Locations listed in ASHRAE 169-2013 in Climate Zone 1 and Climate Zone 0 should be considered Climate Zone 1 under ASHRAE 90.1-2010.
