REQUIREMENTS EXPLAINED

This credit incentivizes projects to prioritize more environmentally responsible materials and choose products with multiple eco-friendly attributes. It emphasizes interior materials, such as paints, coatings, flooring and walls, and considers their impact on the overall environmental performance of the project.

In this credit, products are evaluated based on how they perform according to five criteria areas: climate health, human health, ecosystem health, social health and equity, and circular economy. Within each criteria area, there are three achievement levels that products can meet. Evaluation will be based on how products demonstrate achievement in each of the criteria areas with respect to the three achievement levels. A product that reaches achievement levels in multiple criteria areas is considered a multi-attribute product and will earn a higher value within this credit.

Selecting Building Products

The goal is to recognize products that are optimized across multiple attributes, including promoting human and environmental health, supporting regenerative sourcing practices, and fostering a circular economy. These criteria areas are meant to align with the impact areas in the Mindful Materials Common Materials Framework (CMF) and the AIA Architecture & Design (A&D) Materials Pledge.
