1.05 DEFINITIONS
A. ASHRAE - American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers is an

international organization that establishes standards for uniform testing and rating of heating,
ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment.
B. Asbestos - A fibrous mineral formerly used for making incombustible or fireproof articles. The
inhalation of asbestos fibre can cause serious illness, including malignant lung cancer,
mesothelima, asbestosis and gastro- intestinal cancer.
C. ACMs: Asbestos Containing Material.
D. Commissioning- The process of ensuring that newly constructed/ installed systems (HVAC,
plumbing, electrical, fire/life safety, building security etc.) operate as designed and meet the
performance requirements of the building occupant.
E. Commissioning authority (CxA) the individual designated to organize, lead, and review the
completion of commissioning process activities. The CxA facilitates communication among
the owner, designer, and contractor to ensure that complex systems are installed and function
in accordance with the owner’s project requirements.
F. Construction Waste- The unwanted material generated during construction.
G. Fire Suppression System- The system within a building that discharges inert gases or
chemical agents to control/extinguish fire.
H. Hazardous material/waste- A material that can cause harm to people, other living organisms
or the environment.
I. Landscape- The planting, configuration and maintenance of trees, ground cover, shrubbery,
decorative natural and structural features, earth patterning and bedding materials, and other
similar site improvements that serves as aesthetic or functional purpose.
J. Microclimate- The localized climate conditions within an urban area of neighbourhood.
K. Operation and Maintenance Manual (OMM) - A document containing instructions for the
operation and maintenance of systems and components within a building.
L. Operational Waste- The waste produced as a result of operating/running a building.
M. Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) - The relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer a
chemical compound can cause.
N. Permanently installed building products, defined by LEED refers to products and materials that
create the building or are attached to it. Examples include structure and enclosure elements,
installed finishes, framing, interior walls, cabinets and casework, doors, and roofs. Most of these
materials fall into Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) 2012 Master Format Divisions 3-10,
31, and 32.
O. Recycling- The processing of previously used materials to create new products.
P. Salvage- To save discarded or damaged material for further use.
Q. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) - The ratio of solar heat gain entering a space through a
transparent/ translucent element to the incident solar radiation on the element. Solar heat
gain includes directly transmitted solar heat and absorbed solar radiation, which is then
radiated, conducted or convected into the space.
R. Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) - solar reflectance index (SRI) is a measure of the constructed
surface’s ability to stay cool in the sun by reflecting solar radiation and emitting thermal
radiation. It is defined such that a standard black surface (initial solar reflectance 0.05, initial
Districts
thermal emittance 0.90) has an initial SRI of 0, and a standard white surface (initial solar
reflectance 0.80, initial thermal emittance 0.90) has an initial SRI of 100. To calculate the SRI
for a given material, obtain its solar reflectance and thermal emittance via the Cool Roof
Rating Council Standard (CRRC-1). SRI is calculated according to ASTM E 1980. Calculation
of the aged SRI is based on the aged tested values of solar reflectance and thermal
emittance.
S. Solar reflectance (SR) 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.
T. U-Value- The heat transmission in unit time through a unit area of a material or construction
and the boundary air films, induced by unit temperature difference between the environments
on each side. The units of U value are W/m2K.
U. Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan (CDWMP): Identify the material to be
diverted from landfill and indicate whether the material will be segregate on-site or
commingled. Includes solid wastes, such as building materials, packaging, rubbish, debris,
and rubble resulting from construction, remodelling, repair and demolition operations. A
construction and demolition waste management plan is to be provided by the Contractor.
V. Salvaged or Reused Materials: Materials extracted from existing buildings in order to be
reused in other buildings without being manufactured.
W. CCA-Treated timber: is timber preserved with Copper Chrome Arsenate (CCA) or Chromated
Copper Arsenate, as it is known in some countries. The copper (23-25%) and arsenic (30-
37%) in CCA act as fungicides and insecticides, while the chromium (38-45%) fixes the
chemicals into the wood (APVMA, 2003e; Greaves 2003). The chemical mixture is injected
into the wood under pressure so that the wood is saturated with the chemicals.
X. Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of a chemical compound: is the relative amount of
degradation to the ozone layer it can cause, with trichlorofluoromethane (R-11 or CFC- 11)
being fixed at an ODP of 1.0.
Y. Global warming potential (GWP) is a relative measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas
traps in the atmosphere. It compares the amount of heat trapped by a certain mass of the gas
in question to the amount heat trapped by a similar mass of carbon dioxide. A GWP is
calculated over a specific time interval, commonly 20, 100 or 500 years. GWP is expressed
as a factor of carbon dioxide (whose GMP is standardized to 1).
Z. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Any compound of carbon, excluding carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate,
which participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions. Compounds that have negligible
photochemical reactivity, listed in EPA 40 CFR 51.100(s), are also excluded from this
regulatory definition.
