TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

INTRODUCTION W e l c o m e t o To r o n t o D o m i n i o n C e n t r e
Welcome to the Toronto Dominion Centre Concourse shopping level. Our ongoing renovations are intended to breathe new life into the TD Centres concourse, while preserving the historical spirit of an internationally renowned landmark modernist building. With updated public corridor ceiling, modernized public spaces, way finding signage and other new amenities, your new retail facade will complete the rejuvenation of the TD Centers Retail & Food Court environment to the downtowns best. This manual outlines design criteria, procedures, requirements and recommendations which have been developed by the Landlord for the purpose of assisting the Tenants of TD Centre in the development of their leased premises. Tenants, their designers and contractors must acquaint themselves thoroughly with the material herein so their design and construction can proceed in a coordinated and expeditious manner. The following images, elevations, and sections provide a graphic overview of the architectural design criteria for both the retail concourse and food court areas. While these drawings are intended to give guidance and highlight the principal design criteria, the tenants, their designers and their construction teams must thoroughly acquaint themselves with all standard details, specific conditions and other technical requirements prior to proceeding with the store design. This package must be read in conjunction with the Toronto Dominion Centre Guide to Construction manual. The purpose of this Design Criteria is to assist the tenant in maximizing their storefront potential as part of the current and future project renovations happening at the TD Centre. The guidelines are intended to help the tenants in the creative design of new signs and storefront appeal that will increase their exposure to the traffic in the mall, all within the concept of this important modernist landmark building. Tenants are required to employ competent professionals in the fields of design and contracting relative to their development work. All submissions must be prepared, signed and sealed by a REGISTERED ARCHITECT, INTERIOR DESIGNER and/or ENGINEER. The firms or individuals nominated by Tenants to direct these functions are subject to the approval of the Landlord. Please contact the Landlord for restrictions with regards to contract employees (i.e. All trades in Ontario must be unionized, Bill 124). Note: The drawings contained in the Schedule C are included for illustrative purposes as an aid for Tenants compliance with the design criteria set forth herein. The Landlords actual configuration and design of the property, as constructed, may vary in certain aspects from such drawings. In case of deviations between the design criteria drawings and those of the Landlords lease outline drawings, the latter will apply. Also, any conflict between the Schedule C and the provisions of the lease with respect to the obligations of the Landlord and the Tenant or the payment of work, the provisions of the lease shall control. The Tenant must verify all conditions on site.

Toronto Dominion Centre is an operating shopping centre, and Tenants who have construction to carry out are required to bear this fact in mind when scheduling and directing their work. The Landlord requires the active cooperation and consideration of all concerned, so that interference with business of operating merchants is kept to minimum. All questions, submissions and proposals relative to Tenant work should be directed to the Landlords representative. * The Landlord reserves the right to amend or add to the information in this Manual at any time and the tenant is obligated to abide by such changes upon notification.

SECTION 1.0 Architectural Design Criteria

1.1

LANDLORD CONTROL ZONE

10

The first 10-0 from the storefront lease line (across the entire width of the store) into the Tenant space, has been designated as a Landlord Control Zone. As the appearance and design of this zone is critical to the overall store appearance all finishes, graphics, signs, materials and methods of presentation are subject to the Landlords approval. The storefront area is specifically reserved for creative product presentation. All Tenants must comply with the following requirements: The storefront areas are specifically reserved for creative product presentation. The use of such areas for mass product presentation and/or in store shopping is prohibited. All areas exposed to public view are especially subject to approval by the Landlord. Particular attention shall also be paid to conformance with the technical design criteria for Tenant HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. Interior display platforms are to be provided at the faade show windows. Particular attention shall be paid by the Tenant to the visual organization of the storefront within the control zone, as well as the rear and side walls of the sales area. All finishes, graphics, signs, materials, and methods of presentation are subject to Landlord approval. Display fixtures or merchandise, either temporary or permanent, must be placed behind the Tenants entry door closure line. Merchandise racks and display features must not block customer traffic flow in and out of the store. Layout of the store, fixture locations (both permanent and moveable) are explicit requirements of the Schedule C and as such must be included in the submittal and receive approval, as provided herein. The Landlord will not permit reshuffling or additional fixtures or signs (both permanent and moveable) unless their design and location received written approval prior to installation. General stock must be contained within stockroom areas specifically designed for this purpose. All stock shall be hidden from public view. No open warehouse concepts will be allowed. Freestanding temporary signage or poster holders are not permitted outside of the Tenants closure line and are subject to Landlord approval in the Landlord Control Zone. They must also be located so traffic flow in and out of the store is not impeded. Television monitors (if permitted in the Landlord Control Zone) must be incorporated into the overall storefront design 24 beyond the lease line. Monitors must be approved (for size, style and content) by the Landlord and are not permitted to transmit sound into the Landlord common area. Speakers are not permitted in the Landlord Control Zone and sound from within the Tenants space is not permitted to transmit sound into the Landlord common area. The use of duratrans, transparencies, or graphic light boxes must be set back behind glass minimum 2-0 from the lease line.

Graphic light boxes at lease line will not be permitted.

TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

1.1

LANDLORD CONTROL ZONE continued

Where perfume, pets, cosmetics, health, bath and beauty products are sold, an exhaust system (for negative pressure air flow) is required to prevent strong scents and smells from infiltrating the Landlord common area. Exhaust systems are also required for hair, beauty and nail salons where strong scented chemicals are utilized, so as to prevent scents and smells from infiltrating the Landlord common area. Where service counters or automated service equipment make up a portion of the storefront, they must be recessed from the lease line a minimum of 24. Adequate space must be provided for the queuing of all customers within the leased premises. The location of interactive electronics installations or customer activated payment machines must be within the leased premises and may not constitute a visual element of the storefront. All cash registers must be installed in recessed positions and be kept at lest 36 away from the storefront lease lines and in such a manner as not be readily visible from the common area. The Tenant must match mall border tile from the lease line to the Tenants storefront line and/or closure line. The Landlord may require the Tenant to extend the mall tile finish further into the premises to an interesting and architecturally reasonable location. A high quality hard surface flooring such as wood flooring, stone, or ceramic tile shall be provided throughout this zone. Carpeting will not be permitted. Ceiling materials shall be gypsum board, wood, or other type of hard surface material. Acoustical ceilings and open ceilings are not permitted. Recessed incandescent or halogen down lights shall be used. Compact fluorescent fixtures are not permitted. Placement of track lighting in display windows must be recessed or concealed from mall side view. Sprinkler heads in the ceiling shall be the fully recessed type with cover plates. All walls within this zone shall be provided with high quality finish materials. Plain painted drywall, slat wall or pegboard surfaces, are not permitted. Compatibility with adjacent and previously approved storefronts will be considered as one of the criteria for approval. Should there be existing conditions that do not meet this criteria for whatever reasoning, the criteria as it is written, shall take precedence. Any installation that does not conform with this criteria, the Landlords review notes, or have the Landlords prior written approval will be removed by the Landlord at the Tenants expense. Any costs incurred by the Landlord with regards to such actions, are subject to a 15% administration fee. The Landlord shall not be held responsible for the condition, storage, or the return of any such removed installation. The Landlord shall not be held responsible for any loss of goods, or loss of business as a result of these actions. All items removed will be disposed of at the time of removal. The cost of such disposal shall be charged back to the Tenant, including all administration fees.

DESIGN GUIDELINES

12

Designers are urged to utilize a variety of planes in their storefronts to create a definite three dimensional feel and to avoid the flat, open storefront which speaks of absence of design rather than a considered approach. The shape of the storefront should not emphasize the position and shape of the front lease line, which by its nature is predictable. It should foster a statement of interesting shape to the mall by the imaginative positioning of sign bulkheads by the location and geometry of display windows and by the subtle coordination of the mall tile with the Tenants floor finishes at interesting and architecturally reasonable locations. Food Tenants whose spaces are not located within the immediate food court section, must locate their storefront counters a minimum of 2-0 behind the lease line, and follow the guidelines for foodcourt finishes in the service areas.

1.2.1
TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

STOREFRONT OPENINGS

Openings are to be a minimum opening of 6-0 wide; however, they should not exceed 50% of the entire storefront . The Tenant shall maximize the use of transparent glass to maintain a show window type concept. Solid straight bulkheads dropped above the floor across the entire storefront, and wide-open storefronts with only a sign panel hung into the opening are not permitted. Ratio of storefront opening, glazing and permitted solid surfaces: 50% open, 20% solid, 30% glazing

1.2.1.1 CORNER LOCATIONS

MATERIALS & APPLICATIONS

17

1.3.2.1 BASE MATERIALS


Tenants are required to install a minimum 4 high durable storefront base. The base must be of highly durable material suitable for withstanding contact with maintenance equipment and cleaning solutions, i.e. stone, masonry, metal, etc. Materials such as rubber, vinyl or plastic laminates are not suitable surfaces for this application and are not permitted. TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA All natural materials must be sealed to protect against diret penetration. Where such materials are used, the Landlord reserves the right to request they be refurbished on a periodic basis or be refurbished by the Landlord at the Tenants expense. Base materials must be scribed to the floor line - caulking is not permitted.

1.3.2.2 GLAZING MATERIALS


Storefront glazing must be of tempered glass (minimum or 12mm thick). Note: tempered glass stamp must be placed in a clear and visible location. Joints are to be sealed with a continuous bead of clear silicone or glass clips (minimum of two clips between each panel) may be used to secure and stabilize panels. At the discretion of the Landlord, the storefront design may incorporate glass directly to the floor without a base, but it should be understood that the centres common area floors are wet mopped using liquids and rotary brushes. Hard surface base materials are recommended to avoid damage to glazing materials. Gaps between panes are not to exceed . Glass specifications are to conform to all building code requirements. Reflective glass (including the extensive use of mirror) is not permitted on storefronts or in the storefront entry zone. Tenant is to provide shading or reflective film over large glass areas receiving direct solar exposure.

1.3.2.3 PAINTS, COATINGS, ADHESIVES & SEALANTS


Tenants are required to use low emitting adhesives and sealants during their fit-ups. All paint and other such coatings used in the construction of a Tenants space must have a low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) rating. New environmental regulations, and consumer demand, have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint. These new paints are durable, costeffective and less harmful to human and environmental health.

1.3

F I N I S H I N G S TA N D A R D S c o n t i n u e d

LIGHTING

Lighting greatly influences the perception of storefronts, displays and interiors. It also distinguishes the well-designed retail environment from background and support areas. The owner does not provide lighting for Tenant storefronts. General illumination will not be adequate to light storefront merchandise. Tenants are asked to follow the guidelines listed below: All lighting designs must incorporate energy efficient lighting and shall be of a high quality commercial grade. Tenant storefront display lighting is to be of an approved type, recessed light or track light. All storefront track lights must be recessed or concealed from mall view. Colour temperatures and CRI must be defined with detailed specifications. CRI must be 80 or higher.

23

All lighting fixtures shall be constructed and installed to be glare free. Specific Landlord approval is required for the use of coated metal halide lighting. For consideration, information must be submitted which documents the quality of the light and style of fixture. (ie. copper) Fluorescent lighting without lenses will not be permitted anywhere in public areas of stores. Exposed fluorescent tube fixtures are to be used in non-public storage areas only. All fluorescent lighting shall utilize lamps, which provide colour corrected light appropriate for a retail environment (3500K). Fluorescent lighting must be used in combination with directional and/or spot lights. Recessed compact fluorescent pot fixtures should be provided with parabolic diffusers and should have a have a colour temperature ranging between 3000K - 3500K.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

All renovations and new construction intended to be performed by the Tenant or its contractors must be completely and accurately detailed in working drawings, prepared by a qualified interior designer or a registered architect, whose selection has been approved by the Landlord and submitted to the Landlord a minimum of one month prior to possession. The Landlord will supply to the Tenant outline plans, if available, for the designer's information and use. These plans will be in the form of the mall's base building drawings or working drawings provided by the Tenant that previously occupied the premises. It is to be clearly understood that the Landlord does not in any way guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in such drawings. The Tenant remains responsible for ensuring that the conditions on site are reflected in the Tenant's drawings. All Tenant drawings must be submitted to the Landlord for approval. The Landlord's approval must be given in writing, by means of the Landlord's signature of approval on the Tenant's drawings, prior to the commencement of any construction within the premises. Tenants must submit drawings for approval in accordance with the scheduling stipulated by the leasing documentation and/or the drawings due date given by the Landlord. Should the Premises be incomplete at the time drawings are required to be submitted, the Tenant must base its drawings on available information, including outline drawings provided by the Landlord, and must confirm the accuracy of its drawings when the Landlord's work has been completed. Any delay by the Tenant in providing such information may affect the possession date, but shall not affect the Term commencement date.

INTENT
Increase water efficiency in order to reduce the demand on municipal systems and local watersheds.

125

BACKGROUND
Canadians use, on average, 390 litres of water per day. This is about twice as much as the average European. Conservation of water prevents excess withdrawal of water from rivers, lakes and other water bodies, and reduces the energy use and chemical inputs at water treatment facilities. Water use reduction at the building level helps to reduce utility bills, and lowers the operating costs at the municipal level. TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants wishing to install additional washroom fixtures as part of their leasehold improvements must adhere to the maximum flow-rates established by the base building: Toilets - Dual-flush - 6/4.2LPF Urinals - 1.9 LPF Lavatory Faucets - 1.9 LPM Kitchenette faucets - 8.7 LPM

TENANT DESIGN STRATEGIES


Ideally, kitchenette faucets should target a flow rate of between 3.8 Litres per minute (LPM) and 5.7 LPM. If a suitable kitchen faucets with lower flow rate is not available, after-market aerators can be installed to achieve the specified flow rate.

MAXIMIZING ENERGY PERFORMANCE

INTENT
To achieve increased levels of energy performance to reduce environmental impacts associated with excessive energy use and production.

127

BACKGROUND
Energy and power production create staggering amounts of pollution, including carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and mercury. Canada is among the highest per-capita energy users in the world. As a result, the average amount of CO2 emitted for every kilowatt hour of electricity used in Canada is 0.23 kgs. TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA Minimizing energy use reduces the demand on local production facilities, which in turn decelerates the growth rate of expensive and destructive power generating infrastructure. As energy prices continue to rise, providing energy efficient buildings will become more and more necessary to prevent rolling brownouts and energy shortages.

TENANT DESIGN STRATEGIES


Tenants can further improve the overall energy efficiency of their premises by further reducing the overall LPD of their space and by installing equipment and fixtures that use less energy than typical products:

Lighting
Lighting is the primary contributor to energy costs and can be reduced easily by a thoughtful lighting design that minimize both the number of fixtures and the amount of light provided by each fixture.

Equipment
Computers and technological equipment account for a large portion of a Tenants energy costs. Specifying Energy Star compliant printers, monitors, and copying machines will reduce utility costs.

Appliances
Tenant spaces can also reduce energy consumption by specifying Energy Star appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerators. Energy Star appliances typically consume 15% - 40% less energy than federal standards and conventional products. Energy Star dishwashers also require less water, reducing potable water consumption.

INTENT
Prevent disposal of waste construction materials through reduction of resources, reuse of materials and consideration of recycling programs.

129

BACKGROUND
Less than 25% of North American construction waste debris is recycled. Recycling and reusing materials reduces the demand for virgin resources by the manufacturing industry. The associated energy consumption and transportation are also reduced, resulting in lower emissions and a reduced rate of resource depletion. TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

TENANT DESIGN STRATEGIES


To develop a construction waste management (CWM) Plan, that aims to identify potential opportunities for waste diversion. At a minimum, the CWM plan must include the following: A designated area for the separation and collection of recyclable and salvageable materials. The education of the construction managers and subcontractors of the LEED requirements Targeting products that minimize disposable packaging in order to reduce the amount of waste packaging associated with the transportation of materials to the site. A tracking system (including waybills) that monitors and provides feedback on the amount of materials diverted from landfill.

TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

COSTING INFORMATION
In some instances, contractors pay reduced tipping fee for depositing construction waste at recycling facilities. However, there is a labour cost involved in sorting materials on site and shipping them to several additional receiving facilities other than just the landfill. Some waste management firms offer to sort construction waste off-site and provide an estimated break-down of the materials sent for recycling. This strategy often results in a lower waste diversion rate, is difficult to enforce and may carry a premium over on-site sorting of construction waste.

7.4

R E C YC L E D CO N T E N T

INTENT
Increase the demand for building products that contain material with recycled content, therefore reducing negative impacts of extraction and processing of virgin materials.

131

BACKGROUND
The amount of energy saved from using one ton of recycled aluminum instead of new materials can be used to power the average home for about two years. Incorporating recycled content into popular consumable products reduces waste, energy costs and the use of land devoted to the extraction of virgin materials. Companies are now using recycled content in a variety of products, diverting materials such as gypsum, metals, wood and glass from landfill disposal. TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

RELEVANCE TO TENANT
At a minimum, tenants must use gypsum board, steel studs, carpet and ceiling tile that contain recycled content.

TENANT DESIGN STRATEGIES


Strategies to maximize the use of recycled materials include: Research products thoroughly, to ensure that those containing recycled content are just as durable and useful as those originally specified. Give preference to post-consumer rather than post-industrial recycled content. Request literature from the manufacturer prior to ordering to verify the recycled content of each product. Keep track of all materials used on site to ensure that environmental targets are being met

RESOURCE MATERIAL
United States Environmental Protection Agency recycled content product recommendations (www.epa.gov/cpg/products.htm)

COSTING INFORMATION
Products with recycled content are often competitive with similar products made from virgin materials. Products such as gypsum board and ceiling tiles have negligible if any cost premium, while carpeting and tile products may carry a small premium.

132

INTENT
Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region. This supports the use of indigenous resources and reduces the negative effects associated with the transportation of goods.

BACKGROUND
The transportation sector is the fastest-growing source of the worlds carbon emissions. Road traffic, which accounted for 58 percent of worldwide transportation carbon emissions in 1990, claimed 73 percent in 1997. Pollutant emissions negatively affect air and water quality. Purchasing local materials improves the local economy, promoting the community and quality of life.

TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

RELEVANCE TO TENANT
At a minimum, tenants are encouraged to use gypsum board, and steel studs that are manufactured and extracted within 800km of the city construction is set to take place.

DESIGN STRATEGIES
Designers should attempt to use (at a minimum of ) 10% of building materials and products for which at least 80% of the mass is extracted, processed and manufactured within 800km of the site if shipped by road, or 2400km if shipped by rail or water. Contact the suppliers of products, giving preference to products manufactured and extracted within the desired radius. This information is often available in product literature such as technical data sheets or brochures. In addition to gypsum board and steel studs, other products to target include : panel products composite wood materials: MDF, particle board carpeting ceiling tile

Contact the manufacturer for complete details. Often, a specific plant may need to be specified to guarantee the regional content. Extraction location is not provided, and must be investigated by the Tenants design team.

133

COSTING INFORMATION
TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA Not all interior building products are readily available within 800km of a construction site. As such, there may be a nominal premium associated with selecting regional materials. However, selecting regional materials may reduce the overall cost of materials, as transportation fees are likely to be significantly less than those linked to materials shipped from distant locales.

INTENT
Reduce the use and depletion of finite raw materials and long-cycle renewable materials by replacing them with rapidly renewable materials.

BACKGROUND
Most natural resources are consumed at a rate that exceeds their ability to replenish themselves. Examples include most wood products, plastics and other oil-based products (fossil fuels), and metals. The use of renewable materials such as bamboo, cork, and agricultural by-products avoids the depletion of these valuable resources; it also reduces habitat destruction and land development associated with material processing. Controlled bamboo forests produce as much flooring in 5 years as a hardwood forests can produce in 40 years. Renewable materials also result in biodegradable materials.

TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

DESIGN STRATEGIES
Materials that can be replaced by renewable products include partitions, furniture, flooring, wall coverings and panel products Review all store and finish schedules and consider the use of renewable materials to replace those typically specified. Indoor air quality should also be considered when selecting a product. Associated sealants, adhesives, coatings and paints should be investigated to ensure they meet low volatile organic content (VOC) limits.

COSTING INFORMATION
Since renewable materials harvest faster than typical building materials, less land is required for similar production outputs; lower land costs result in consumer savings. Additionally, the energy required to process organic materials is lower than that required to process minerals and metals, resulting in reduced emissions and utility bills. Again, this results in a reduction of cost to the end user. The following outlines the relative costs of various renewable materials. In general, as demand for these products grows, cost to the consumer will decrease: Cork: There is a price increase associated with cork, but the products is very durable, and contains a high percentage of renewable content. Linoleum: These products are relatively inexpensive, but may contain a lower percentage of renewable content than other qualified products. Bamboo: Like cork, bamboo carries a premium, but it is highly durable. As bamboo becomes more popular, competitive pricing will follow. Wheatboard/Straw: Products made from agricultural by products may carry a premium and are dependant on market conditions.

CERTIFIED WOOD

136

INTENT
Promote sustainable forestry management practices by specifying Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) approved wood products.

BACKGROUND
The Forest Stewardship Council was created in 1993, and aims to promote forest sustainability, as demonstrated by their mission statement: The Forest Stewardship Council shall promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the worlds forests.

TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

Forests cover 45% of the land mass in Canada, offering habitat to almost 2/3 of Canadas biodiversity. Sustainable forest management reduces negative impact on these habitats and promotes the use of wood as a renewable resource. While other sustainable forest management systems exists (Sustainable Forestry Initiative SFI, CSA Sustainable Forest Management CSA-SFM), LEED only recognizes the FSC. FSC Chain of Custody certification is not expensive, and as the demand for FSC certified wood increases, companies involved in wood based products may lose market share if they fail to obtain FSC certification. LEED requirement: Of all wood based products, 50% must be FSC certified. In order to be FSC certified, each processor, manufacturer and distributor of the product must have chain-of-custody certification.

DESIGN STRATEGIES
Interior spaces can contain many wood based products, and Tenants designers should be careful to review all proposed products when considering this credit. Some of the most likely wood based products used in tenant fit-up are: solid wood doors, paneling products, finishes (including flooring), furniture or carpentry.

RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants are encouraged to use FSC certified wood for wood based products. Locating FSC certified companies can be difficult depending on the item desired. Also consider the following when specifying FSC certified products: Contact the product supplier to find out if they have FSC chain-of-custody certification. If they do not, consider other manufacturers/distributors. Be careful to ensure that FSC certified products do not contain urea formaldehyde (UF), in accordance with credit EQc4.4.

Adhesives, Sealants, Paints, Coatings

138

INTENT
Improve indoor air quality by selecting adhesives, sealants, paints and coatings that contain low or zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

BACKGROUND
Ground level ozone is created when VOCs react with sunlight and nitrogen. Ozone, when inhaled, damages the lung tissue reducing lung function and sensitizing the lung to other irritants. VOC exposure can result in a reduction of occupant health and productivity. Even low levels of VOCs can have adverse effects on human health if subject to prolonged exposure. Healthy occupants are more productive and are less prone to illness related absenteeism. Adhesives, sealants, paints and coatings are considered to be one of the top 5 hazards to human health. These finishes release low level toxic emissions into the air for years after application. The source of these toxins is a variety of VOCs which, until recently, were essential to the performance of the paint. New environmental regulations, and consumer demand, have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint. These new paints are durable, costeffective and less harmful to human and environmental health. Benefits to using low VOC paints and finishes includes: reduced toxins benefit everyone; reduces landfill, groundwater and ozone depleting contaminants; low-VOC products perform well in terms of coverage, scrubability and hideability (covering flaws on previous coats); easy cleanup with soap and warm water; have low odor during application; no odor once cured and no off-gassing. Painted areas can be occupied sooner, with no odor complaints and are not deemed hazardous waste therefore cleanup and disposal are greatly simplified.

TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants are required to use low-emitting adhesives, sealants paints and coatings during tenant fit-up. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or other manufacturers literature stating VOC contents of adhesives, sealants paints and coatings must be submitted for Landlord Review.

DESIGN STRATEGIES
VOC information for a given product can be found in a variety of places, including technical data sheets, material safety data sheets and other manufacturer literature; the most likely of these materials is the MSDS. Green Seal approved products will bear the Green Seal Certification Mark.

For Canadian MSDS VOC information is usually found in Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties. For American MSDS VOC content is often provided under Section 3: Physical Data. The Green Seal Standards and SCAQMD limits are subject to change, and become more stringent as product technology develops, and the need for low VOC products increases. Make sure that the VOC limits you are striving for are the most recent provided by Green Seal and the South Coast Air Quality Management (SCAQMD). Ensure that low or zero VOC products have adequate properties for the given application. NOTE: Some essential building materials may not have a low VOC option. In this case, the product with the lowest VOC content should be chosen.

Carpet

140

INTENT
Improve indoor air quality by choosing carpeting that contains less contaminants and pollutants than conventional broadloom products.

BACKGROUND
Conventional carpeting may cause indoor air quality concerns to both Tenants and installers, including allergens, odours and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Indoor air quality is directly related to Tenant comfort and health, and as such should be a primary concern to those responsible for indoor finishes in commercial applications. The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) has developed a testing system that ensures that carpet products meet certain emission levels. A sample is tested quarterly by an independent laboratory using American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) method D5116. Carpet products that meet the emission levels of the test are granted a Green Label. The CRI has also developed another program, called Green Label Plus for products that meet more stringent emission levels. Since the inception of the Green Label program in 1992, the industry has made substantial reductions in the levels of TVOCs (Total Volatile Organic Compounds), as well as reductions in 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PC), the compound most associated with new carpet odour.

TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants are required to use low-emitting carpets for all carpeting installed as part of their leasehold improvements. Product cut sheets indicating CRI Green Label certification must be provided at Landlord review.

Composite Wood

142

INTENT
Reduce the quantity of urea-formaldehyde, an odourous, potentially irritating and harmful contaminant that affects the comfort and well-being of installers and tenants.

BACKGROUND
Formaldehyde is commonly used in building products such as resins and adhesives. There are two common forms of formaldehyde used in construction materials: phenol formaldehyde (PF) and urea formaldehyde (UF). The formaldehyde gas in these products is off-gassed into the surrounding air, creating a variety of health issues. Urea formaldehyde is a carcinogenic compound that can also cause irritation and asthma in concentrated conditions. Phenyl formaldehyde is less destructive because it off-gasses at a reduced rate compared to urea formaldehyde. Avoiding the use of both of these compounds is recommended to reduce employee health risks and improve indoor air quality.

TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA

RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants should make best efforts to avoid wood based materials such as MDF, laminated assemblies or flooring that contain added urea formaldehyde.
