Principles and Criteria for Forest Stewardship
DEFINITIONS
.1
Definitions as written below are supplementary to all laws, statutes, and regulations
effective in Alberta. Where definitions conflict, laws, statutes, and regulations take
precedent over the definitions below.
.2
CFC: Chlorofluorocarbon. CFC’s are halogenated substances that have a significant
impact on the Earth’s atmosphere as they are ozone depleting and contribute to global
warming.
.3
Chain-of-Custody Certification - certificates signed by manufacturers certifying that
wood used to make products was obtained from FSC certified forests. Certificates include
evidence that mill is certified for chain-of-custody by FSC-accredited certification body.
.4
Carbon Dioxide Monitoring: A method for determining indoor air quality by using the
concentration of carbon dioxide as an indicator. Although the level of CO2 is a good
general indicator of air quality, it is reliant on the presence of certain conditions and must
be applied accordingly.
.5
Commissioning (Building): The process of ensuring installed systems function as
specified, performed by a third party Commissioning Authority. Elements to be
commissioned are identified, installation is observed, sampling is conducted, test
procedures are devised and executed, staff training is verified, and operations and
maintenance manuals are reviewed.
.6
Construction and Demolition Waste: Waste building materials, dredging materials,
treestumps, and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition of
homes, commercial buildings and other structures and pavements. May contain lead,
asbestos, or other hazardous substances.

.7
Construction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan: A systematic plan for addressing
construction practices that can impact air quality during construction and continuing on to
occupation.
.8
Construction Site Recycling: See Construction Waste Management
.9
Construction Waste Management: General term for strategies employed during
construction and demolition to reduce the amount of waste and maximize reuse and
recycling. Construction waste management is a sustainable building strategy in that it
reduces the disposal of valuable resources, provides materials for reuse and recycling, and
can promote community industries.
.10
Energy Star: Program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency that
evaluates products based on energy efficiency.
.11
Fluorocarbons (FCs): Any of a number of organic compounds analogous to hydrocarbons
in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine. Once used in the United
States as a propellant for domestic aerosols, they are now found mainly in coolants and
some industrial processes. FCs containing chlorine are called chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs). They are believed to be modifying the ozone layer in the stratosphere, thereby
allowing more harmful solar radiation to reach the Earth's surface. 1
.12
Flush-Out: A period after finish work and prior to occupation that allows the building’s
materials to cure and release volatile compounds and other toxins. A building flush-out
procedure is normally followed, with specified time periods, ventilation rate, and other
criteria.
.13
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC): A third-party certification organization, evaluating the
sustainability of forest products. FSC-certified wood products have met specific criteria
in areas such as forest management, labor conditions, and fair trade.
.14
Global Warming: An increase in the near surface temperature of the earth. Global
warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is
most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result of increased
emissions of greenhouse gases. Scientists generally agree that the earth's surface has
warmed by about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past 140 years. The Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) recently concluded that increased concentrations of
greenhouse gases are causing an increase in the earth's surface temperature and that
increased concentrations of sulfate aerosols have led to relative cooling in some regions,
generally over and downwind of heavily industrialized areas.
.15
Green Label: A certification program by the Carpet and Rug Institute for carpet and
adhesives meeting specified criteria for release of volatile compounds.
.16
Halon: Bromine-containing compounds with long atmospheric lifetimes whose
breakdown in the stratosphere causes depletion of ozone. Halons are used in firefighting.

.17
Heat Island Effect: A "dome" of elevated temperatures over an urban area caused by
structural and pavement heat fluxes, and pollutant emissions.
.18
HCFC - Hydrochlorofluorocarbon: HCFCs are generally less environmentally detrimental
to depletion of stratospheric ozone than CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). HCFCs are
generally used to replace CFC’s where mandates require CFC’s to be eliminated. A total
ban on all CFC’s and HCFCs is scheduled, effective 2030.
.19
HVAC: Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning to provide thermal comfort and
ventilation to building.
.20
Hydrocarbons (HC): Chemical compounds that consist entirely of carbon and hydrogen.
.21
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): ASHRAE defines acceptable indoor air quality as air in which
there are no known contaminants at harmful concentrations as determined by cognizant
authorities and with which 80% or more people exposed do not express dissatisfaction.
.22
LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. A voluntary, consensus-based,
standard, measurement system designed for rating new and existing buildings based on
accepted energy and environmental principles, striking a balance between knowledge,
established practices, and emerging concepts. A performance-oriented system where
points are earned for satisfying criterion in each of five categories: Sustainable Sites,
Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, and Indoor
Environmental Quality. LEED promotes integrated and sustainable design practices.
LEED® is a trademarked name.
.23
LEED Accredited Professional (LAP): A professional who has successfully passed the
LEED Accreditation exam and is knowledgeable in green building design practices.
.24
Low VOC: Building materials and finishes that exhibit low levels of "off gassing," the
process by which VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are released from the material,
impacting health and comfort indoors and producing smog outdoors. Low (or zero) VOC
is an attribute to look for in an environmentally preferable building material or finish. See
"Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)" for more information.
.25
Organic Compound: Vast array of substances typically characterized as principally carbon
and hydrogen, but that may also contain oxygen, nitrogen and a variety of other elements
as structural building blocks.
.26
Ozone Depletion: Destruction of the earth's ozone layer, which can be caused by the
photolytic breakdown of certain chlorine- and/or bromine-containing compounds (e.g.,
chlorofluorocarbons), which catalytically decompose ozone molecules.
.27
Post-Consumer Recycling: Use of materials generated from residential and consumer
waste, raw material or feedstock, for new product or similar purposes; e.g. converting
wastepaper from offices into corrugated boxes or newsprint.

.28
Post-Consumer Recycle Content: A product composition that contains some percentage
of material that has been reclaimed from the same or another end use at the end of its
former, useful life.
.29
Post-Industrial Material: Industrial manufacturing process scrap or waste; also called preconsumer material.
.30
Post-Industrial Recycle Content: A product composition that contains some percentage of
manufacturing waste material that has been reclaimed from a process generating the same
or a similar product. Also called pre-consumer recycle content.
.31
Pre-Consumer Materials/Waste: Materials generated in manufacturing and converting
processes such as manufacturing scrap and trimmings and cuttings. Includes print
overruns, over issue publications, and obsolete inventories.
.32
Rapidly Renewable Materials - materials made from agricultural products that are
typically harvested within a ten-year or shorter cycle. Rapidly renewable materials
include but are not limited to products made from bamboo, cotton, flax, jute, straw,
sunflower seed hulls, vegetable oils, and wool.
.33
Regionally Materials - materials that are extracted, harvested, recovered and processed
within a radius of 800 km from the final manufacturing site when transported by truck,
2400 km by boat or train and the final manufacturing site is within 800 km of the Project
site, 2400 km if shipped by rail or water. Manufacturing refers to the final assembly of
components into the building product that is installed at project site.
SPEC NOTE: The following paragraphs are from the US Federal Trade Commission 16 CFR 260.7
(e), guidelines for the use of Environmental Marketing Claims.
.34
.35
Recycled Content - percentage by weight of constituents that have been recovered or
otherwise diverted from solid waste stream, either pre-consumer or post-consumer.
.1
Wastes and scraps from manufacturing process that are combined with other
materials after minimal amount of reprocessing for use in further production of
same product are not recycled materials.
.2
Discarded materials from one manufacturing process that are used as materials in
another manufacturing process are pre-consumer recycled materials.
Reuse: Using a product or component of municipal solid waste in its original form more
than once. (e.g., refilling a glass bottle that has been returned or using a coffee can to hold
nuts and bolts.)
.1

.36
When materials are reused on or near the site of salvage, they reduce
transportation-related environmental impacts.
VOC: (Volatile Organic Compound). Organic substances capable of entering the gas
phase from either a liquid or solid form. VOCs are volatile enough to evaporate from
material surfaces into indoor air at normal room temperatures (referred to as off-gassing).
These substances are generally thought of to be harmful to both humans and the
environment. They are common in and emitted by many building products over time
through out-gassing:
.1
Solvents in paints and other coatings;
.2
Wood preservatives; strippers and household cleaners;
.3
Adhesives in particleboard, fiberboard, and some plywood; and foam insulation.
.4
When released, VOC’s can contribute to the formation of smog and can cause
respiratory tract problems, headaches, eye irritations, nausea, damage to the liver,
kidneys, and central nervous system, and possibly cancer.
