• Materials and Resources: Material Ingredient Reporting

  Description

  How Acuity Brands can help you address this requirement

  The project must use at least 20 different permanently installed products from at least five different manufacturers that use any of the following programs to demonstrate the chemical inventory of the product to at least 0.1% (1000 ppm) using one of several listed methods including Declare Labels, Health Product Declarations or a publicly available inventory of all ingredients identified by name and Chemical Abstract Service Registration Number.

  A growing number of luminaires from Acuity Brands have obtained a Declare label. This information is available on individual luminaire spec sheets. In addition, all products with a Declare label/status can be found on the Declare Database here. Note that while some manufacturers will submit a “Manufacturer’s Letter” in lieu of a publicly available inventory of all ingredients, these generally are substantially incomplete and do not meet the program requirements. Acuity Brands understands that it is not possible to create an accurate and complete inventory without going through the detailed process required to obtain a Declare label or HPD, and thus refrains from providing manufacturer’s letters.

What requirements in the Living Building Challenge can you help me to address?

• Section 07. Energy + Carbon Reduction

  Description

  How Acuity Brands can help you address this requirement

  Project must 1) Achieve a reduction in total net annual energy compared to an equivalent baseline building (70% for new buildings, 50% for existing buildings, 35% for interiors) and be metered to verify performance 2) Use on-site renewable energy 3) Use materials that reduce embodied carbon by 20%.
