| CHEMICALS OF CONCERN |
关注化学物质 |
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Chemicals found in many products that can evaporate, or off-gas, at normal indoor temperatures and pressures.
|
- 挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）：存在于许多产品中的化学物质，可在正常室内温度和压力下蒸发或释放气体。
|
| MATERIAL SUFFICIENCY |
材料充足性 |
- Material efficiency: Using less material to perform the same function or produce the same results. Also referred to as material-use optimization.
|
- 材料效率：使用更少的材料来执行相同功能或产生相同结果。也称为材料使用优化。
|
- Sufficiency: A set of measures and practices that avoid demand for energy, materials, land, and water while delivering human well-being within planetary boundaries.
|
- 充足性：一套避免对能源、材料、土地和水的需求同时在地球边界内提供人类福祉的措施和实践。
|
| MATERIAL CIRCULARITY |
材料循环性 |
- Material circularity: An approach where resources are continuously reused and recycled, reducing dependence on virgin resources and minimizing waste.
|
- 材料循环性：一种资源被持续再利用和回收的方法，减少对原生资源的依赖并最小化废弃物。
|
| LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT |
生命周期评估 |
- Life-cycle assessment (LCA): An evaluation of the environmental impact of a building product or a whole building project over its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to construction and disposal.
|
- 生命周期评估（LCA）：对建筑产品或整个建筑项目在整个生命周期的环境影响的评估。
|
| HOLISTIC MATERIAL ASSESSMENT |
整体材料评估 |
- Multi-attribute certifications: Certifications that rate products on their performance across multiple measures, such as environmental and social impact.
|
|
| CONSTRUCTION WASTE |
施工废弃物 |
- Overage: The extra material ordered for building construction just in case it's needed.
|
|
| OPERATIONS WASTE |
运营废弃物 |
- Waste diversion: Diverting waste from landfill and incineration facilities.
