Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Markville Shopping Centre
This manual outlines design criteria, procedures, requirements and recommendations which have been developed by the Landlord for the
purpose of assisting the Tenants of Markville Shopping Centre in the development of their leased premises. Tenants, their designers and
contractors must acquaint themselves thoroughly with the material herein so their design and construction can proceed in a coordinated and
expeditious manner.
The individuality of the storefront faade and retail image can be expressed by modern and traditional elements. The Landlord will provide a
building shell for the insertion of tenant storefronts, signage and tenant merchandising systems. Each Tenants storefront shall have a variety
of planes to create a definite three-dimensional feel, and to avoid the flat, open storefront that speaks of absence of design. The shape of
the storefront should not emphasize the position and shape of the front lease line. Rather, it should provide an interesting shape to the mall,
through imaginative positioning of sign bulkheads, the location and geometry of display windows and entrances, and by the subtle marrying
of the mall flooring with the Tenants floor finishes. Each design shall be dealt with individually and no other previously approved exception
shall create any precedence in these matters.
Tenants are required to employ competent professionals in the fields of design and contracting relative to their development work. All
submissions must be prepared, signed and sealed by a REGISTERED ARCHITECT, INTERIOR DESIGNER and/or ENGINEER. The firms or
individuals nominated by Tenants to direct these functions are subject to the approval of the Landlord. Please contact the Landlord for
restrictions with regards to contract employees (i.e. All trades in Ontario must be unionized, Bill 124).
Note:
The drawings contained in the Schedule C are included for illustrative purposes as an aid for Tenants compliance with the design criteria
set forth herein. The Landlords actual configuration and design of the property, as constructed, may vary in certain aspects from such
drawings. In case of deviations between the design criteria drawings and those of the Landlords lease outline drawings, the latter will apply.
Also, any conflict between the Schedule C and the provisions of the lease with respect to the obligations of the Landlord and
the Tenant or the payment of work, the provisions of the lease shall control. The Tenant must verify all conditions on site.
Markville Shopping Centre is an operating shopping centre, and Tenants who have construction to carry out are required to remember this
when scheduling and directing their work. The Landlord requires the active cooperation and consideration of all concerned, so that interference
with business of operating merchants is kept to a minimum.
All questions, submissions and proposals relative to Tenant work should be directed to the Landlords representative.
*
The Landlord reserves the right to amend or add to the information in this Manual at any time and the tenant is obligated to abide by
such changes upon notification.
The design of each Tenants storefront plays a very important role in creating an exciting retail atmosphere. Therefore, the Landlord insists that
Tenants look beyond the ordinary to create a dramatic store design with a unique identity.

SECTION 1.0
Architectural Design Criteria
1.1
The first 10-0 from the storefront lease line (across the entire width of the store) into the Tenant space, has been designated as a Landlord
Control Zone. As the appearance and design of this zone is critical to the overall store appearance all finishes, graphics, signs, materials and
methods of presentation are subject to the Landlords approval. The storefront area is specifically reserved for creative product presentation. All
Tenants must comply with the following requirements:
The storefront areas are specifically reserved for creative product presentation. The use of such areas for mass product
presentation and/or in store shopping is prohibited. All areas exposed to public view are especially subject to approval by the
Landlord. Particular attention shall also be paid to conformance with the technical design criteria for Tenant HVAC, plumbing,
and electrical work.
Particular attention shall be paid by the Tenant to the visual organization of the storefront within the control zone, as well as
the rear and side walls of the sales area. All finishes, graphics, signs, materials, and methods of presentation are subject to
Landlord approval.
Display fixtures or merchandise, either temporary or permanent, must be placed behind the Tenants entry door closure line.
Merchandise racks and display features must not block customer traffic flow in and out of the store.
Layout of the store, fixture locations (both permanent and moveable) are explicit requirements of the Schedule C and as such
must be included in the submittal and receive approval, as provided herein. The Landlord will not permit reshuffling or
additional fixtures or signs (both permanent and moveable) unless their design and location received written approval prior to
installation.
General stock must be contained within stockroom areas specifically designed for this purpose. All stock shall be hidden from
public view. No open warehouse concepts will be allowed.
Freestanding temporary signage or poster holders are not permitted outside of the Tenants closure line and are subject to
Landlord approval in the Landlord Control Zone. They must also be located so traffic flow in and out of the store is not impeded.
Television monitors (if permitted in the Landlord Control Zone) must be incorporated into the overall storefront design 24 beyond
the lease line. Monitors must be approved (for size, style and content) by the Landlord and are not permitted to transmit
sound into the Landlord common area.
Speakers are not permitted in the Landlord Control Zone and sound from within the Tenants space is not permitted to
transmit sound into the Landlord common area.
The use of duratrans, transparencies, or graphic light boxes must be set back behind glass minimum 2-0 from the lease line. The
use of illuminated graphic boxes or posters at the storefront shall be part of an overall storefront presentation that includes other
elements such as display fixtures and merchandise. Graphic light boxes at lease line will not be permitted.
Where perfume, pets, cosmetics, health, bath and beauty products are sold, an exhaust system (for negative pressure air flow) is
required to prevent strong scents and smells from infiltrating the Landlord common area. Exhaust systems are also required
for hair, beauty and nail salons where strong scented chemicals are utilized, so as to prevent scents and smells from infiltrating
the Landlord common area.
Where service counters or automated service equipment make up a portion of the storefront, they must be recessed from the
lease line a minimum of 24. Adequate space must be provided for the queuing of all customers within the leased premises. The
location of interactive electronics installations or customer activated payment machines must be within the leased premises and
may not constitute a visual element of the storefront.
All cash registers must be installed in recessed positions and be kept at lest 36 away from the storefront lease lines and in such a
manner as not be readily visible from the common area.
The Tenant must match mall border tile from the lease line to the Tenants storefront line and/or closure line. The Landlord may
require the Tenant to extend the mall tile finish further into the premises to an interesting and architecturally reasonable location.
A high quality hard surface flooring such as wood flooring, stone, or ceramic tile shall be provided throughout this zone.
Carpeting will not be permitted.
Ceiling materials shall be gypsum board, wood, or other type of hard surface material. Acoustical ceilings and open ceilings
are not permitted.
Recessed incandescent or halogen down lights shall be used. Compact fluorescent fixtures are not permitted.
Placement of track lighting in display windows must be recessed or concealed from mall side view.
Sprinkler heads in the ceiling shall be the fully recessed type with cover plates.
All walls within this zone shall be provided with high quality finish materials. Plain painted drywall, slat wall or pegboard
surfaces, are not permitted.
Compatibility with adjacent and previously approved storefronts will be considered as one of the criteria for approval.
Should there be existing conditions that do not meet this criteria for whatever reasoning, the criteria as it is written, shall
take precedence.
Any installation that does not conform with this criteria, the Landlords review notes, or have the Landlords prior written
approval will be removed by the Landlord at the Tenants expense. Any costs incurred by the Landlord with regards to
such actions, are subject to a 15% administration fee. The Landlord shall not be held responsible for the condition,
storage, or the return of any such removed installation. The Landlord shall not be held responsible for any loss of
goods, or loss of business as a result of these actions. All items removed will be disposed of at the time of removal. The
cost of such disposal shall be charged back to the Tenant, including all administration fees.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Designers are urged to utilize a variety of planes in their storefronts to create a definite three dimensional feel and to avoid the flat, open
storefront which speaks of absence of design rather than a considered approach. The shape of the storefront should not emphasize the
position and shape of the front lease line, which by its nature is predictable. It should foster a statement of interesting shape to the mall by the
imaginative positioning of sign bulkheads by the location and geometry of display windows and by the subtle coordination of the mall tile with
the Tenants floor finishes at interesting and architecturally reasonable locations.
Food Tenants whose spaces are not located within the immediate food court section, must locate their storefront counters a
minimum of 2-0 behind the lease line, and follow the guidelines for foodcourt finishes in the service areas.
1.2.1
STOREFRONT OPENINGS
Solid straight bulkheads dropped above the floor across the entire
storefront, and wide-open storefronts with only a sign panel hung
into the opening are not permitted.
Tenant may utilize the corner for the entrance into the space
1.2.2
1.2.3
STRUCTURAL
Tenants storefront must tie into existing building bulkheads including closure grilles and signage. Submission of drawings are to
include detailed sections of the tie-in.
All storefront treatment shall be the full width and height of the storefront opening, and shall abut the demising piers. All
storefront construction shall be self supporting. No portion of the storefront construction may be suspended from the mall
bulkhead and must secure to the deck above.
Where elements of the storefront (such as overhead grille closures) are used, structural engineering drawings must be submitted
with design drawings.
Structural steel support columns must be buried within the mall demising cap or within architectural detailing on the storefront.
Under no condition will structural steel columns be allowed to be covered with simple surface finishes.
Where demising piers are damaged due to previous construction, the Tenants contractor shall repair/replace all finishes and/or
tiles and grout to match the standard mall layout, at the Tenants expense.

1.2.4
PARTITIONS
At a minimum, Tenants must use gypsum board and steel studs that contain recycled content.
Interior wall construction is to be composed of non-combustible metal stud framing with 5/8 gypsum board, taped, sanded and
finished on both sides. Cement board shall be used in lieu of gypsum board where required in waterproofing walls around
wet areas. Metal stud framing shall extend up to the structure above as required so the wall is adequately braced and supported.
Demising walls, which separate adjacent Tenants or walls adjacent to a mall service corridor, shall be constructed to provide a
minimum one-hour rating as required by code.
Demising walls by Landlord, which separate adjacent Tenants, or walls adjacent to a property service corridor will be constructed
to provide a minimum two-hour rating as required by code for restaurants, and a one-hour rating for retail.
If, in the Landlords opinion, sound insulation is required to ensure sound transmission between two Tenants is minimized, the
Tenant shall provide and install such insulation at Landlords direction and at Tenants expense.
Tenant shall be responsible for maintaining the code-required fire rating at all demising wall penetration (duct work, piping,
conduit etc.). This work shall include the installation of fire stops, fire dampers and fire rated penetration seals as required by code.
F I N I S H I N G S TA N D A R D S
The storefront materials are critical in creating the overall atmosphere and look for each Tenant. Tenants are required to provide a high quality,
well-detailed and unique interior and exterior environment. All materials, including flooring, walls, ceilings and lighting, are to be a high
quality, durable and long lasting material with minimal maintenance requirements. Finishes are to be installed over a durable substrate and
all storefront finishes shall be fire retardant and comply with local fire code requirements. All trade fixtures shall be first class new fixtures with
durable finishes consistent with the anticipated public exposure.
Although not mandatory, tenants are encouraged to incorporate rapidly renewable materials such as: bamboo, cork, linoleum,
wheatboard, etc, as part of their fit-up. Materials that can be replaced by renewable products include partitions, furniture, flooring,
wall coverings and panel products. Review all room and finish schedules and consider the use of renewable materials to replace those
typically specified. Indoor air quality should also be considered when selecting a product. Associated sealants, adhesives, coatings
and paints should be investigated to ensure they meet the volatile organic content (VOC) limits.
1.3.1
Finished wood used in the storefront and interior shall be kiln-dried hardwood with a mill-quality finish and shall receive an
approved fire-retardant coating or treatment. Joints must be sealed tight from grease and food particles.
Tenants are encouraged to use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood for their wood based products). Some of the
most likely wood based products used in a Tenants space are: paneling products, wood doors, finishes (including flooring) and
permanent furniture and carpentry.
Plastic laminates (not solid colours) may only be used as storefront facing material if affixed to a plywood base of an appropriate
thickness, and if joints between adjacent panels of the material are concealed in an acceptable manner; exposed butt joints are
not permitted.
Plastic laminates may be considered on the overall quality of design and application
Plastic laminates used in storefronts shall be detailed to conceal seams and overlapping joints. All seams and joints shall be
even, straight and sealed tight.
Identification of all seaming details and grain direction must be shown and detailed in drawings.

1.3.1.3 METAL
Metal may be used in architectural detail, hardware panels and other applications. The gauge, detailing and finish of all metal
surfaces must be suitable for food service and heavy wear. Allowable finishes include polished, brushed, factory-applied paint
and natural if appropriate. Stainless steel finishes are encouraged and most accepted by the Health Department. Anodized
finishes are not allowed. Landlord must review any artificially weathered patina finishes for acceptability. Copper, brass and
bronze are not allowed in food preparation areas per local code.
All metal used in storefronts shall be detailed to conceal seams and overlapping joints. All seams and joints shall be even, straight
and sealed tight. Heavy gauge or textured metals are required for large flat panel areas to avoid oil-canning.
Identification of all seaming details and grain direction must be shown and detailed in drawings.
1.3.1.4 STONE
Granite, marble, limestone, slate and other natural stones are encouraged for the qualities of substance and elegance that it
brings to storefronts and interiors. Granite is particularly suitable as a counter material due to its highly durable nature. Stone
may be used in a variety of available natural finishes such as flamed or honed for vertical applications or polished for countertops.
In all cases, installations must be suitable for food service and extended wear.
The reflective surfaces of polished stone installations require a high degree of detail and craftsmanship to be executed properly
and should only be used in small areas. All stone joints, maximum 1/16, shall be neat, even and regular. An eased and polished
edge is required at all exposed joint, edges and corners. Careful and craftsman-like details are required at all transitions between
stone and other materials. Some stone and grout may need to be sealed at levels where it could be stained.
1.3.1.5 TILE
Natural stone tile is preferred for its substance, elegance and durability. However, as limited accents, tile may be used as a
decorative feature to natural stone surrounds. Decorative, non-glossy porcelain tiles or intricate mosaic tiles may be used as
accents and in limited field applications. Tile, as an overall finish material is not acceptable. All horizontal tile corners and edges
must be bull-nosed or covered. If used on three dimensional volumes, tile must cover all surfaces or be suitably trimmed at
the corners. Tile edges may not be left exposed.

Tenants are required to install a minimum 4 high durable storefront base. The base
must be of highly durable material suitable for withstanding contact with maintenance
equipment and cleaning solutions, i.e. stone, masonry, metal, etc.
Materials such as rubber, vinyl or plastic laminates are not suitable surfaces for this
application and are not permitted.
All natural materials must be sealed to protect against direct penetration. Where such materials are used, the Landlord reserves
the right to request they be refurbished on a periodic basis or be refurbished by the Landlord at the Tenants expense.
Base materials must be scribed to the floor line - caulking is not permitted.
Storefront glazing must be of tempered glass (minimum or 12mm thick). Note: tempered glass stamp must be placed in a
clear and visible location.
Joints are to be sealed with a continuous bead of clear silicone or glass clips (minimum of two clips between each panel) may be
used to secure and stabilize panels.
At the discretion of the Landlord, the storefront design may incorporate glass directly to the floor without a base, but it should be
understood that the centres common area floors are wet mopped using liquids and rotary brushes. Hard surface base materials
are recommended to avoid damage to glazing materials.
Reflective glass (including the extensive use of mirror) is not permitted on storefronts or in the storefront entry zone. Tenant is to
provide shading or reflective film over large glass areas receiving direct solar exposure.
Tenants are required to use low emitting adhesives and sealants during their fit-ups.
All paint and other such coatings used in the construction of a Tenants space must have a low VOC (Volatile Organic
Compounds) rating.
New environmental regulations, and consumer demand, have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and
finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint. These new paints are durable, costeffective and less harmful to human and environmental health.

1.3.2.4 FLOORING
Tenants are required to supply and install the same flooring material and pattern between their
front lease line and storefront closure line as that installed by the Landlord in the adjacent mall
area, and may be required to carry the tile in further as per Landlords request. Landlord flooring
can be purchased from the Landlord. Please contact the Landlords Representative for further
details.
All transitions between floor finishes of unequal thickness are to be accomplished by a gradual
transition with floor leveling (a minimum of 3-0) compound to create a smooth and level
walking surface. Tripping hazards such as carpet trim strips and noticeable reducer trim are not
permitted. Vinyl transitions are not permitted.
Carpeting, if used in the sales area, shall be of the highest quality. Commercial grade high quality
loop pile or loop/cut pile combination carpeting is required.
Tenants are encouraged to use carpeting that contains recycled content. However any
carpeting in the back of house portions of the Tenants space must contain recycled
content.
Tenants are to use low-emitting carpets for all carpets installed as part of their fit-up.
Vinyl tile or any other sheet goods flooring and simulated materials are not permitted.
In restrooms, Tenant shall provide non-slip quality tile, porcelain ceramic tile floor or other
impervious floor material which complies with local jurisdictions. Tenant is specifi cally prohibited
from using vinyl sheet flooring, vinyl composition tile or any similar material in the Landlord
Control Zone
Tenant floor finish within the storefront must be level with the Landlords mall floor finish.
Detailing and construction methods for feathering or cutting of any Tenant flooring to meet the
mall floor level is subject to the Landlords approval.
All proposed coring of the concrete slab floors must be submitted to the Landlord, for review
by Landlords structural engineer, a minimum of 30 days before the proposed coring date. Submittal
requests shall be in sketch form showing framing in the general areas, gridlines, existing penetrations
and proposed penetrations for all trades. In addition, a large scale drawing of the existing
enforcement in the area of proposed penetrations, based on an X-ray investigation must be included.
Cutting of the reinforcement must be avoided during coring.
F I N I S H I N G S TA N D A R D S c o n t i n u e d
1.3.2.5 CEILINGS
Individual access panels shall be provided to allow access to the Landlords or Tenants pull boxes,
damper control, valves, junction boxes, or other equipment. Tenant is to coordinate this with the
Landlords Representative.
All ceilings and associated framing, furring and blocking shall be non-combustible material.
Absolutely no wood of any kind shall be used above any ceiling or soffit. Painted gypsum board
ceilings or other high quality non-combustible ceiling materials are permitted.
Acoustical ceiling systems are not permitted in the sales area; however, they may be used in
the storage rooms and other such areas. At a minimum, Tenants must use ceiling tile (for back of
house) that contain recycled content.
All ceiling construction is to be properly supported. Drywall bulkheads and other suspended
objects are not to be supported solely by wire suspension systems and must be properly
braced to the building structure. The Landlord recommends the use of Unistrut Metal Framing
or a similar system. No puncture through roof deck for any type of ceiling or element suspension
will be permitted.
Wood ceilings are not acceptable ceiling material, except where installed in accordance with the
following: (1) All wood must be fire retardant; and (2) the wood trim or panels must be installed
on the underside of a gypsum board ceiling so no wood is exposed to the plenum space above
the ceiling.
A wide opening ceiling, spanning an area greater than 30% is not permitted; however, may be
considered based on its design merits should it incorporate other elements such as suspended
ceiling panels, bulkheads, etc. (Acoustical ceiling tiles are not permitted in the sales area). These
elements add character to interior store design. Should an open ceiling concept be approved,
all structural, mechanical and electrical elements above the sales area are to be cleaned, painted,
and built in compliance with code and plenum return requirements.

LIGHTING
Lighting greatly influences the perception of storefronts, displays and interiors. It also distinguishes the well-designed retail environment from
background and support areas. The owner does not provide lighting for Tenant storefronts. General illumination will not be adequate to light
storefront merchandise. Tenants are asked to follow the guidelines listed below:
All lighting designs must incorporate energy efficient lighting and shall be of a high quality commercial grade.
Tenant storefront display lighting is to be of an approved type, recessed light or track light. All storefront track lights must be
recessed or concealed from mall view.
Colour temperatures and CRI must be defined with detailed specifications. CRI must be 80 or higher.
Lamps within the lighting fixtures shall not be directed to shine or to be visible from the mall and is not permitted to spill onto the
Landlord common area. Where Tenant uses up lighting to illuminate storefront bulkhead, lighting must not spill onto Landlords
bulkhead/ceiling above.
Specific Landlord approval is required for the use of coated metal halide lighting. For consideration, information must be
submitted which documents the quality of the light and style of fixture. (ie. copper)
Fluorescent lighting without lenses will not be permitted anywhere in public areas of stores. Exposed fluorescent tube fixtures are
to be used in non-public storage areas only. All fluorescent lighting shall utilize lamps, which provide colour corrected light
appropriate for a retail environment (3500K). Fluorescent lighting must be used in combination with directional and/or spot lights.
Recessed compact fluorescent pot fixtures should be provided with parabolic diffusers and should have a have a colour
temperature ranging between 3000K - 3500K. NOTE: These are not permitted in the Landlord Control Zone.
Recessed incandescent can-type fixtures must have specular or semi-specular Alzak reflectors, coilex baffles, or other glare free
shielding devices.
Mercury vapour or high pressure sodium lamps, strobe, spinner chase or moving types of lighting are not permitted.
Should LEDs be considered, note that the performance largely depends on the ambient temperature of the operating environment.
Driving an LED hard in high ambient temperatures may result in overheating of the LED package, eventually leading to device
failure. Adequate heat-synching is required to maintain longevity.
Tenant is required to provide a diffuser when linear lighting (fluorescent, strip lights, etc.) are used as cove lighting to illuminate
storefront bulkhead. Lighting in cove to be stagger-mounted to prevent uneven light distribution.
Tenants on the lower level of a multi-storey shopping centre must ensure that bulkhead and signage lighting lamps are not visible
from above.
The installation and use of automated lighting controls is mandated for back of house applications where lighting is not required
constantly (ie. office, washrooms) and/or does not a compromise the health and safety of the employees and the space.

SIGNAGE
Tenant's signage is for the purpose of identification only, and must be limited to trade name and logo only. Advertising, slogans
and or product names may not be displayed a part of signage. No description or listing of goods or services will be permitted.
Each Tenant is required to design, fabricate and maintain an identification sign as shown in this criteria. Signage should be
decorative as well as informative and should reinforce the overall design of the store. These objectives can be achieved through
careful use of colours, materials, typestyles and size.
Tenant's signage shall be proportional to the scale of the overall storefront design. The sign should not dominate or overpower
the merchandise itself.
The maximum overall width of the signing may not exceed 50% of the storefront width measured from the inside edges of the
demising piers. At no time shall any portion of a sign or logo be any closer than 30 from the demising line of the storefront.

that a minimum 30 side setback is maintained. Bottom of sign must reach a minimum height of 8-0. Lettering is not permitted

electricity for the Tenants sign is to be fed from the Tenants electrical panel. All conduits, transformers or other related

Submission Guidelines
GENERAL GUIDELINES
All renovations and new construction intended to be performed by the Tenant or its contractors must be completely and
accurately detailed in working drawings, prepared by a qualified interior designer or a registered architect, whose selection
has been approved by the Landlord and submitted to the Landlord a minimum of one month prior to possession.
The Landlord will supply to the Tenant outline plans, if available, for the designer's information and use. These plans will be in the
form of the mall's base building drawings or working drawings provided by the Tenant that previously occupied the premises.
It is to be clearly understood that the Landlord does not in any way guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in such
drawings. The Tenant remains responsible for ensuring that the conditions on site are reflected in the Tenant's drawings.
All Tenant drawings must be submitted to the Landlord for approval. The Landlord's approval must be given in writing, by means
of the Landlord's signature of approval on the Tenant's drawings, prior to the commencement of any construction within the
premises.
Tenants must submit drawings for approval in accordance with the scheduling stipulated by the leasing documentation and/or
the drawings due date given by the Landlord. Should the Premises be incomplete at the time drawings are required to be
submitted, the Tenant must base its drawings on available information, including outline drawings provided by the Landlord,
and must confirm the accuracy of its drawings when the Landlord's work has been completed.
Any delay by the Tenant in providing such information may affect the possession date, but shall not affect the Term
commencement date.
Please note that the design criteria supersedes all notations on reviewed drawings. The Tenant and its designer are obligated to
conform to the set design criteria.

INTENT
Increase water efficiency in order to reduce the demand on municipal systems and local watersheds.
BACKGROUND
Canadians use, on average, 390 litres of water per day. This is about twice as much as the average European. Conservation of
water prevents excess withdrawal of water from rivers, lakes and other water bodies, and reduces the energy use and chemical
inputs at water treatment facilities. Water use reduction at the building level helps to reduce utility bills, and lowers the
operating costs at the municipal level.
RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants wishing to install additional washroom fixtures as part of their leasehold improvements must adhere to the maximum flow-rates
established by the base building:
Ideally, kitchenette faucets should target a flow rate of between 3.8 Litres per minute (LPM) and 5.7 LPM. If a suitable kitchen
faucets with lower flow rate is not available, after-market aerators can be installed to achieve the specified flow rate.

INTENT
To achieve increased levels of energy performance to reduce environmental impacts associated with excessive energy use and
production.
Energy and power production create staggering amounts of pollution, including carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and mercury.
Canada is among the highest per-capita energy users in the world. As a result, the average amount of CO2 emitted for every
kilowatt hour of electricity used in Canada is 0.23 kgs.
Minimizing energy use reduces the demand on local production facilities, which in turn decelerates the growth rate of expensive
and destructive power generating infrastructure. As energy prices continue to rise, providing energy efficient buildings will
become more and more necessary to prevent rolling brownouts and energy shortages.
Tenants can further improve the overall energy efficiency of their premises by further reducing the overall LPD of their space and
by installing equipment and fixtures that use less energy than typical products:
Lighting
Lighting is the primary contributor to energy costs and can be reduced easily by a thoughtful lighting design that minimize both
the number of fixtures and the amount of light provided by each fixture.
Equipment
Computers and technological equipment account for a large portion of a Tenants energy costs. Specifying Energy Star
compliant printers, monitors, and copying machines will reduce utility costs.
Appliances
Tenant spaces can also reduce energy consumption by specifying Energy Star appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerators.
Energy Star appliances typically consume 15% - 40% less energy than federal standards and conventional products. Energy Star
dishwashers also require less water, reducing potable water consumption.

Less than 25% of North American construction waste debris is recycled. Recycling and reusing materials reduces the demand for
virgin resources by the manufacturing industry. The associated energy consumption and transportation are also reduced,
resulting in lower emissions and a reduced rate of resource depletion.

RECEIVING FACILITIES
Below is a list of receiving facilities in the GTA that accept various construction materials
Interface Carpet (Belleville) (www.interfaceflooring.com) accept all makes of carpet through their ReEntry program
COSTING INFORMATION
In some instances, contractors pay reduced tipping fee for depositing construction waste at recycling facilities. However, there is a
labour cost involved in sorting materials on site and shipping them to several additional receiving facilities other than just the
landfill.
Some waste management firms offer to sort construction waste off-site and provide an estimated break-down of the materials
sent for recycling. This strategy often results in a lower waste diversion rate, is difficult to enforce and may carry a premium over
on-site sorting of construction waste.

INTENT
Increase the demand for building products that contain material with recycled content, therefore reducing negative impacts of
extraction and processing of virgin materials.
The amount of energy saved from using one ton of recycled aluminum instead of new materials can be used to power the
average home for about two years. Incorporating recycled content into popular consumable products reduces waste, energy
costs and the use of land devoted to the extraction of virgin materials. Companies are now using recycled content in a variety of
products, diverting materials such as gypsum, metals, wood and glass from landfill disposal.
RELEVANCE TO TENANT
At a minimum, tenants must use gypsum board, steel studs, carpet and ceiling tile that contain recycled content.
Research products thoroughly, to ensure that those containing recycled content are just as durable and useful as those originally
specified.
Request literature from the manufacturer prior to ordering to verify the recycled content of each product.
Keep track of all materials used on site to ensure that environmental targets are being met
RESOURCE MATERIAL

Increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region. This supports the
use of indigenous resources and reduces the negative effects associated with the transportation of goods.
BACKGROUND
The transportation sector is the fastest-growing source of the worlds carbon emissions. Road traffic, which accounted for 58
percent of worldwide transportation carbon emissions in 1990, claimed 73 percent in 1997. Pollutant emissions negatively affect
air and water quality. Purchasing local materials improves the local economy, promoting the community and quality of life.
RELEVANCE TO TENANT
At a minimum, tenants are encouraged to use gypsum board, and steel studs that are manufactured and extracted within 800km
of the city construction is set to take place.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
Designers should attempt to use (at a minimum of ) 10% of building materials and products for which at least 80% of the mass is
extracted, processed and manufactured within 800km of the site if shipped by road, or 2400km if shipped by rail or water.
Contact the suppliers of products, giving preference to products manufactured and extracted within the desired radius. This
information is often available in product literature such as technical data sheets or brochures. In addition to gypsum board and
steel studs, other products to target include :
panel products

There are many sources for regional materials within 800km of the project site. Please note that not all products are available
from each manufacturing location. Contact the manufacturer for complete details. Often, a specific plant may need to be
specified to guarantee the regional content. Extraction location is not provided, and must be investigated by the Tenants design
team.
Not all interior building products are readily available within 800km of a construction site. As such, there may be a nominal
premium associated with selecting regional materials. However, selecting regional materials may reduce the overall cost of

Reduce the use and depletion of finite raw materials and long-cycle renewable materials by replacing them with rapidly
renewable materials.
BACKGROUND
Most natural resources are consumed at a rate that exceeds their ability to replenish themselves. Examples include most
wood products, plastics and other oil-based products (fossil fuels), and metals. The use of renewable materials such as bamboo,
cork, and agricultural by-products avoids the depletion of these valuable resources; it also reduces habitat destruction and
land development associated with material processing. Controlled bamboo forests produce as much flooring in 5 years as a
hardwood forests can produce in 40 years. Renewable materials also result in biodegradable materials.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
Materials that can be replaced by renewable products include partitions, furniture, flooring, wall coverings and panel products
Review all store and finish schedules and consider the use of renewable materials to replace those typically specified. Indoor air
quality should also be considered when selecting a product. Associated sealants, adhesives, coatings and paints should be
investigated to ensure they meet low volatile organic content (VOC) limits.

COSTING INFORMATION
Since renewable materials harvest faster than typical building materials, less land is required for similar production outputs; lower
land costs result in consumer savings. Additionally, the energy required to process organic materials is lower than that required
to process minerals and metals, resulting in reduced emissions and utility bills. Again, this results in a reduction of cost to the end
user. The following outlines the relative costs of various renewable materials. In general, as demand for these products grows,
cost to the consumer will decrease:
Cork: There is a price increase associated with cork, but the products is very durable, and contains a high percentage of renewable
content.
Linoleum: These products are relatively inexpensive, but may contain a lower percentage of renewable content than other
qualified products.
Bamboo: Like cork, bamboo carries a premium, but it is highly durable. As bamboo becomes more popular, competitive pricing
will follow.
Wheatboard/Straw: Products made from agricultural by products may carry a premium and are dependant on market conditions.

CERTIFIED WOOD
INTENT
Promote sustainable forestry management practices by specifying Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) approved wood products.
BACKGROUND
The Forest Stewardship Council was created in 1993, and aims to promote forest sustainability, as demonstrated by their mission
statement:
The Forest Stewardship Council shall promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable
management of the worlds forests.
Forests cover 45% of the land mass in Canada, offering habitat to almost 2/3 of Canadas biodiversity. Sustainable forest
management reduces negative impact on these habitats and promotes the use of wood as a renewable resource. While other
sustainable forest management systems exists (Sustainable Forestry Initiative SFI, CSA Sustainable Forest Management CSA-SFM),
LEED only recognizes the FSC.
FSC Chain of Custody certification is not expensive, and as the demand for FSC certified wood increases, companies involved in
wood based products may lose market share if they fail to obtain FSC certification. LEED requirement: Of all wood based
products, 50% must be FSC certified. In order to be FSC certified, each processor, manufacturer and distributor of the product
must have chain-of-custody certification.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
Interior spaces can contain many wood based products, and Tenants designers should be careful to review all proposed products
when considering this credit. Some of the most likely wood based products used in tenant fit-up are: solid wood doors, paneling
products, finishes (including flooring), furniture or carpentry.
RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants are encouraged to use FSC certified wood for wood based products. Locating FSC certified companies can be difficult
depending on the item desired. Also consider the following when specifying FSC certified products:
Contact the product supplier to find out if they have FSC chain-of-custody certification. If they do not, consider other
manufacturers/distributors.
Be careful to ensure that FSC certified products do not contain urea formaldehyde (UF), in accordance with credit EQc4.4.

Improve indoor air quality by selecting adhesives, sealants, paints and coatings that contain low or zero Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs).
BACKGROUND
Ground level ozone is created when VOCs react with sunlight and nitrogen. Ozone, when inhaled, damages the lung tissue
reducing lung function and sensitizing the lung to other irritants. VOC exposure can result in a reduction of occupant health and
productivity. Even low levels of VOCs can have adverse effects on human health if subject to prolonged exposure.
Healthy occupants are more productive and are less prone to illness related absenteeism.
Adhesives, sealants, paints and coatings are considered to be one of the top 5 hazards to human health. These finishes release
low level toxic emissions into the air for years after application. The source of these toxins is a variety of VOCs which, until
recently, were essential to the performance of the paint.
New environmental regulations, and consumer demand, have led to the development of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints and
finishes. Most paint manufacturers now produce one or more non-VOC variety of paint. These new paints are durable, costeffective and less harmful to human and environmental health.
Benefits to using low VOC paints and finishes includes: reduced toxins benefit everyone; reduces landfill, groundwater and ozone
depleting contaminants; low-VOC products perform well in terms of coverage, scrubability and hideability (covering flaws
on previous coats); easy cleanup with soap and warm water; have low odor during application; no odor once cured and no
off-gassing. Painted areas can be occupied sooner, with no odor complaints and are not deemed hazardous waste therefore
cleanup and disposal are greatly simplified.
RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants are required to use low-emitting adhesives, sealants paints and coatings during tenant fit-up.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or other manufacturers literature stating VOC contents of adhesives, sealants paints and
coatings must be submitted for Landlord Review.

VOC information for a given product can be found in a variety of places, including technical data sheets, material safety data
sheets and other manufacturer literature; the most likely of these materials is the MSDS. Green Seal approved products will bear
the Green Seal Certification Mark.
L O W E M I T T I N G M AT E R I A L S :
For Canadian MSDS VOC information is usually found in Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties. For American MSDS VOC
content is often provided under Section 3: Physical Data.
The Green Seal Standards and SCAQMD limits are subject to change, and become more stringent as product technology develops,
and the need for low VOC products increases. Make sure that the VOC limits you are striving for are the most recent provided by
Green Seal and the South Coast Air Quality Management (SCAQMD).
Ensure that low or zero VOC products have adequate properties for the given application.
NOTE: Some essential building materials may not have a low VOC option. In this case, the product with the lowest VOC content
should be chosen.
PRODUCTS/SUPPLIERS
Most manufactures offer low or zero VOC products including:
RESOURCE MATERIAL
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule #1113: (http://www.aqmd.gov/rules/reg/reg11/r1113.pdf )
COSTING INFORMATION
Low or zero VOC products are readily available with no cost premium. The market for low-emitting materials is growing, and
consequently products are offered at prices that are competitive (sometimes less expensive) with conventional building products.

Carpet
INTENT
Improve indoor air quality by choosing carpeting that contains less contaminants and pollutants than conventional broadloom
products.
BACKGROUND
Conventional carpeting may cause indoor air quality concerns to both Tenants and installers, including allergens, odours
and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Indoor air quality is directly related to Tenant comfort and health, and as such should be
a primary concern to those responsible for indoor finishes in commercial applications.
The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) has developed a testing system that ensures that carpet products meet certain emission levels.
A sample is tested quarterly by an independent laboratory using American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) method D5116.
Carpet products that meet the emission levels of the test are granted a Green Label. The CRI has also developed another
program, called Green Label Plus for products that meet more stringent emission levels.
Since the inception of the Green Label program in 1992, the industry has made substantial reductions in the levels of TVOCs (Total
Volatile Organic Compounds), as well as reductions in 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PC), the compound most associated with new
carpet odour.
RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants are required to use low-emitting carpets for all carpeting installed as part of their leasehold improvements. Product cut
sheets indicating CRI Green Label certification must be provided at Landlord review.
RESOURCE MATERIAL
All Green Label and Green Label Plus compliant products can be found on the Carpet and Rug Institute website:

COSTING INFORMATION
Some CRI Green Label or Green Label Plus compliant products carry a premium compared to traditional broadloom carpeting;
however, increasing tenant and shopper comfort and reducing employee absenteeism will result in higher productivity levels.

Composite Wood
INTENT
Reduce the quantity of urea-formaldehyde, an odourous, potentially irritating and harmful contaminant that affects the comfort
and well-being of installers and tenants.
BACKGROUND
Formaldehyde is commonly used in building products such as resins and adhesives. There are two common forms of
formaldehyde used in construction materials: phenol formaldehyde (PF) and urea formaldehyde (UF). The formaldehyde gas
in these products is off-gassed into the surrounding air, creating a variety of health issues.
Urea formaldehyde is a carcinogenic compound that can also cause irritation and asthma in concentrated conditions. Phenyl
formaldehyde is less destructive because it off-gasses at a reduced rate compared to urea formaldehyde. Avoiding the use of both
of these compounds is recommended to reduce employee health risks and improve indoor air quality.
RELEVANCE TO TENANT
Tenants should make best efforts to avoid wood based materials such as MDF, laminated assemblies or flooring that contain
added urea formaldehyde.
DESIGN STRATEGIES
To investigate the adhesives and resins used in all wood-based materials, such as MDF, laminated assemblies, flooring, etc. UF
information may be provided in a variety of locations, including MSDS, technical data sheets and product literature. On occasion,
the manufacturer may have to be contacted to verify the use of UF within the product assembly.

COSTING INFORMATION
Many panel products are available with a UF-free option for a negligible if any increase in price. The benefits gained in tenant
comfort and health will improve productivity, and likely recover any additional costs associated with purchasing materials
without urea formaldehyde.
A variety of products can be found without added urea-formaldehyde or no UF at all. Some example manufacturers include:
