Waste Diversion Calculation
Calculate a waste diversion rate by tracking the total amount of materials generated from
ongoing building operations and maintenance activities for a minimum of three consecutive
months within the 12-month reporting period. Track waste generation monthly and include the
material type and weight of all nonhazardous solid materials.
Track or estimate variations in materials management that occur outside the reporting period,
such as seasonal collection or intermittent waste streams.
Calculate waste diversion by tracking the amount of materials (by weight) diverted from landfills
and incineration. For diverted materials, specify the diversion method (reduce, reuse, recycle,
compost, etc.). If material quantities are estimated, provide the methodology and/or source
references used to make calculations. If actual weights are unavailable for certain material types
or hauling methods, volume-to-weight conversion average values can be used.
To calculate the overall diversion rate, divide the weight of materials diverted by the total weight
of materials generated for the same reporting period. Account for seasonal collection or
intermittent waste streams within the calculations. See Equation 1 for the waste diversion

To understand the amount of outdoor air being delivered by ventilation, exhaust, and filtration systems in comparison with ventilation standards for IAQindoor air quality (IAQ).

REQUIREMENTS

Achievement Pathways Points Existing Buildings N/A Ventilation and Filtration Verification Meet all of the following requirements to verify the operational quality of ventilation, exhaust, and filtration systems: • Include information on ventilation system operation and preventative maintenance as outlined in ASHRAE 62.1-2022 (or later), Table 8-1, “Minimum Maintenance Activity and Frequency for Ventilation System Equipment and Associated Component,” in the current facilities requirements and operations and maintenance plan required for compliance with IPp4: Current Facilities Requirements and O+M Plan. • Investigate local and regional outdoor air quality. Determine the regional air quality status and conduct an observational survey of the building site and its immediate surroundings to identify local contaminants from surrounding areas that will be of concern if able to enter the building. Meet the following requirements for mechanically ventilated spaces (except for residential units. See Residential section below): • Calculate the minimum amount of outdoor air required by ASHRAE 62.1-2022 or later. Use simplified calculations from the standard or the ventilation rate procedure. • Measure the amount of outdoor air being delivered by each ventilation system serving the project. Measurements may be made directly or by installed flow measurement devices in the system that are calibrated per manufacturer recommendations. Measurements taken within five years prior to the end of the 12-month reporting period are acceptable. • Compare the measured results for each ventilation system with the calculated minimum amount of outdoor air required by ASHRAE 62.1-2022 and determine next steps. If spaces are under-ventilated, document the circumstances and potential corrective actions. Compliance with minimum outdoor rates is highly encouraged but not required for this prerequisite (excluding residential units). • Identify the filtration level (minimum efficiency reporting value [MERV] level in accordance with ASHRAE 52.2 or filtration media class as defined by ISO 16890-2016) for each ventilation system that supplies outdoor air and each HVAC system that supplies recirculated air to occupied spaces. If filtration levels are below MERV 13 (or equivalent filtration media class of ePM1 50%), evaluate options for improving filter efficiency and document the circumstances and potential corrective actions. Compliance with MERV 13 is highly encouraged but not required for this prerequisite. For systems with outdoor air economizers, confirm that the current equipment is operating per design intent and modify if necessary. For naturally ventilated spaces, identify the opening types, location of the openings, and size of the openings. Visually inspect each opening and adjacent areas for cleanliness and integrity and clean as needed. Remove all visible debris or visible biological material observed and repair physical damage to louvers and screens if such damage impairs the item from providing the required outdoor air entry. Test and confirm manual and/or automatic opening apparatus for proper operation and repair or replace as necessary. For spaces with mechanical exhaust, test and modify if necessary to confirm proper operation of the exhaust systems as outlined in the current facilities requirements and operations and maintenance plan. Residential For all common areas in the building, meet the preceding requirements above. For residential units, have an operable window in each bedroom with the total openable window area a minimum of 4% of the room floor area or meet the following minimum requirements for the entire unit. Equation 1. Minimum outdoor air rate in IP units × Minimum outdoor air rate in cfm = 0.03 cfm/sq. ft. dwelling unit �loor area (in sq. ft.) + 7.5 cfm/person × (number of bedrooms + 1) Equation 2.

EQc8 1 point

🎯 INTENT / 意图

To minimize pest problems and exposure to pesticides.

REQUIREMENTS

Achievement Pathways Points Existing Buildings 1 Option 1. In-House Integrated Pest Management Program 1 OR Option 2. Certified Integrated Pest Management Service 1 Option 1. In-House Integrated Pest Management Program (1 point) The building and grounds must Hhave in place an integrated pest management (IPM) plan for the building and grounds. The IPM plan must include the following elements: • Identification of an IPM team: Identify roles for building management, pest management contractors, maintenance staff, and liaisons with building occupants. Review social responsibility reports for any pest management service providers to ensure they are using a legal and properly trained workforce and addressing other social responsibility aspects. • Provisions for annually identifying and monitoring pests: Specify inspections, pest population monitoring, and a reporting system that allows occupants, maintenance staff, and others to report evidence of pest infestations. • Pest management thresholds: Specify thresholds to take pest management actions for all pests likely to be encountered in the building. Include a process for modifying action thresholds, as necessary, through active communication between occupants and the IPM team. • Pest control methods: Identify pest management thresholds to be used when action thresholds are exceeded. For each pest, list all potential control methods considered and preferentially adopt the lowest-risk options, considering the risks to the applicator, building occupants, and the environment, as well as the risks of incomplete pest control. When pesticides must be used, first specify the use of least-risk pesticides. • Nonchemical pest preventive measures: Use nonchemical pest preventive measures either designed into the structure or implemented as part of the pest management activities. • Identification of least-risk pesticides: Determine least-risk pesticides based on inherent hazard and exposure potential, using a hazard review process such as the San Francisco Pesticide Hazard Screening Protocol.13 If a pesticide that is not in the least- risk category is selected, document the reason. • Documentation protocol: Choose a mechanism for documentation of inspection, monitoring, prevention, and control methods and for evaluation of the effectiveness of the IPM plan. Specify the metrics by which performance will be measured and describe the quality assurance process to evaluate and verify successful implementation of the plan. • Communication protocol: Establish a strategy for communication between the IPM team and the building occupants (for schools, faculty, and staff). This strategy must include education about the IPM plan, participation in problem-solving, feedback mechanisms (e.g., a system for recording pest complaints), tracking repairs aimed at preventing pests, and a provision for notification of pesticide applications. At a minimum, the facility manager must notify any building occupant or employee who requests the IPM plan and post a sign at the application site (with pesticide name, EPA registration number [or local equivalent], and date of application), which must remain in place for at least 24 hours prior to application and 24 hours after notification. OR Option 2. Certified Integrated Pest Management Service (1 point) Use a fully licensed pest management contractor to provide IPM services for the building. The company must be certified and in good standing with GreenPro,14 EcoWise,15 GreenShield,16 or a local equivalent, and the service provided must constitute a certified service. If chemical pesticides are under consideration for landscaped areas within the project boundary, use a contractor with appropriate licensure (e.g., as a pest control advisor or qualified applicator) to manage these areas. 13 San Francisco Environment Department, “Pest Management for City Departments,” n.d., https://sfenvironment.org/pest- management-for-city-departments. 14 Quality Pro, “The Credentials: GreenPro,” n.d., https://www.npmaqualitypro.org/available-credentials/greenpro/. 15 Ecowise Certified, “Index,” n.d., https://www.ecowisecertified.com/index.html. 16 Green Shield Certified, “Effective Pest Control.
