material, recycled materials, or sustainable timber or a combination of
any three which contributed at least 50% of all newly installed wall
and door materials.
2 credits for demonstrating the achievement of 100%.
b) Regionally Manufactured Materials
1 credit for wall and door materials manufactured within 800km radius
from the project space, which contributed to at least 50% of the newly
installed wall and door materials used in the project.

Criteria
a) Rapidly Renewable Materials / Recycled Materials /
Sustainable Timber
The Applicant shall quantify the walls and doors with rapidly
renewable materials, recycled materials and sustainable timber (or a
combination) based on the total surface area of the walls and doors.
Composite products consisting rapidly renewable material, recycled
material, sustainable timber or combination of all three, and exceed
50% by Mass shall qualify.
Use the equation 1 to determine compliance
b) Regionally Manufactured Materials
The Applicant shall quantify the walls and doors which are regionally
manufactured within 800 km radius, based on the total surface area of
walls and doors. For salvaged materials, the salvaged location shall
be deemed as the point of manufacture.
For composite products, only portion by mass, that was manufactured
within 800 km radius shall qualify as regionally manufactured material.
Use the equation 2 to determine compliance.
c) Environmentally Manufactured Materials
The Applicant shall quantify the walls and doors, where ALL the
manufacturer or factory and process have implemented an EMS
based on the total surface area of walls and doors.
The EMS shall fully cover the following:
a.) Environmental policy
e.) Objective & Target
