This standard is used for recycled materials to label their pre and/or post consumer content. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct 1992) covers many products and services related to energy. It also sets standards for toilets and other water fixtures in both commercial and residential models.

The ENERGY STAR rating is a measure of a building's energy performance compared with that of similar buildings, as determined by ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. A score of 50 represents average building performance. They are designed for technical and administrative guidance for MPR, Prerequisites, and Credits. They may be submitted any time after the project is registered and must be completed using LEED Online. Do not write as a letter. Include only the inquiry and essential information. CIRs can contain maximum 600 words. The CIR may NOT include attachments, cut-sheets, plans or drawings. Chain of Custody refers to chronological documentation or paper trail. CoC is important in LEED when dealing with certified wood. Companies that process, manufacture, and/or sell products made of certified wood can earn CoC certification by having an audit done of their documentation.

The ratio of the radiation emitted by a surface (i.e. the surface of an object or material) to the radiation emitted by a black body at the same temperature. It measures a material's ability to radiate absorbed energy. The SRI index is a numerical representation of a material's ability to reject or reflect solar heat. SRI is determined by measuring temperature changes or by using an ASTM standard based on the solar spectrum. Albedo is synonymous with solar reflectance. It is a measure of the ability of a surface material to reflect sunlight in forms of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths, which is measured on a scale of 0 to 1. Black paint has an albedo of 0 and white paint has an albedo of 1. Solar reflectance is synonymous with albedo.

Water Efficiency (WE) and Energy and Atmosphere (EA) 30% (USGBC) Xeriscaping is a landscaping method that makes routine irrigation unnecessary. It uses drought-adaptive and low- water plants as well as soil amendments such as compost and mulches to reduce evaporation. Drip irrigation delivers water at low pressure through buried mains and sub mains. Water is distributed to the soil through a network of perforated tubes or emitters.

Regularly check irrigation systems, use drip, micromist, subsurface irrigation systems, smart irrigation controllers, computer-controlled system monitoring, zero irrigation of plants or turf between months of November and April, zero irrigate of shrubs between September and April, and mold prevention by designing systems to irrigate away from buildings. They are nonnative to the ecosystem and likely to cause harm once introduced. These species are characteristically adaptable and aggressive, have a high reproductive capacity, and tend to overrun the ecosystems they enter. Collectively, they are among the greatest threats to biodiversity and ecosystem stability. They are adapted to a given area during a defined time period and are not invasive. In North America, the term often refers to plants growing in a region prior to the time of settlement by people of European descent.

The integrated, whole-building approach is the most effective way to optimize energy efficiency, by collaboration among all team members, beginning at the start of a project , this method is necessary in designing building systems. Innovation in Design The holistic approach evaluates energy consumption early in the design process to allow project teams to target methods to improve the building energy consumption and performance. To earn exemplary performance credits, teams must meet the performance level defined by the next step in the threshold progression on credits that allow exemplary performance. For example if one point can be earned on a credit by reducing water use by 20% and another point by reducing water use 30%, then if a team reduces water use by 40% it may earn an exemplary performance point.
