Health & Wellbeing – Indoor Air Quality (HEA 02)
The intent of HEA 02 is to encourage and support healthy internal environments with good indoor air quality, through reducing pollution sources and concentrations of chemical contaminants that can damage air quality, human health, productivity, and the environment.
This requires that our paints meet both VOC content (Total Volatile Organic Compounds – TVOC) and certified emissions requirements. We offer a complete range of low VOC solutions, with supporting declarations & certifications for BREEAM.
Materials – Responsible Sourcing of construction products (MAT 02)
The MAT section encourages the use of products for which life-cycle information is available. A growing range of PPG & Johnstone’s Trade products have third party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) which are Product Specific Type III EPDs conforming to ISO 14025.
Waste – Construction waste management (WST 01)
WST 01 requires practices to reduce construction waste by encouraging reuse, recovery and best practice waste management practices to minimise waste going to landfill.
