REDIT REQUIREMENT
a) Rapidly Renewable Materials / Recycled Materials /
Sustainable Timber
1 credit for ceiling materials either rapidly renewable materials,
recycled materials and sustainable timber (or a combination) which
contribute at least 50% of all newly installed ceiling.
2 credits for demonstrating 100% achievement;
b) Regionally Manufactured Materials
1 credit for ceiling materials manufactured locally within 800 km radius
from the project space, which contributed to at least 50% of the newly
installed ceiling materials.
c) Environmentally Manufactured Materials
1 credit for ceiling materials from ALL organisations with
manufacturing facilities which implemented an Environmental
Management System (EMS) and contributed at least 50% of the
newly installed ceiling materials.

Criteria
a) Rapidly Renewable Materials / Recycled Materials /
Sustainable Timber
The Applicant shall quantify the ceiling products with the content of
either (or a combination) rapidly renewable materials, recycled
materials and sustainable timber based on the total surface area.
Composite products with rapidly renewable material, recycled
material, sustainable timber, or combination that exceed 50% by
Mass shall qualify under this assessment.
Use the equation 1 to determine compliance.
b) Regionally Manufactured Materials
The Applicant shall quantify the ceiling products which are regionally
manufactured within 800km radius, based on the total surface area of
ceilings. For salvaged material, the location of the factory from where
they were salvaged shall be classified as the point of manufacture.
For composite products, only the portion by mass, manufactured
within 800km radius shall qualify as regionally manufactured material.
Use the equation 2 to determine compliance.
c) Environmentally Manufactured Materials
The Applicant shall quantify the ceiling products manufactured by
organisations ALL having implemented an EMS, based on the total
surface area.
