PART 2 ‐ Definitions:

Sustainability: Sustainable building projects integrate building materials and methods that promote environmental quality, economic vitality, and social benefit through the design, construction and operation of the built environment.

Sustainable building merges sound, environmentally responsible practices into one discipline that looks at the environmental, economic and social effects of a building or built project as a whole. Sustainable design encompasses the following broad topics: efficient management of energy and water resources, management of material resources and waste, protection of environmental quality, protection of health and indoor environmental quality, reinforcement of natural systems, and integrating the design approach.

Agrifiber Products: Composite panel products derived from agricultural fiber.

Bio‐based Content: The weight of the bio‐based material divided by the total weight of the product and expressed as a percentage by weight.

Certificates of Chain‐of‐Custody: Certificates signed by manufacturers certifying that wood used to make products has been tracked through its extraction and fabrication to ensure that it was obtained from forests certified by Forest Stewardship Council.

Composite Wood: A product consisting of wood fiber or other plant particles bonded together by a resin or binder.
