Member of Green Buildings LEED Green Building Rating System Low Embodied Energy, High insulation properties Materials & Resources CreditIntent / RequirementLaGyp TM Contribution MR Credit 2.1 & 2.2 Construction Waste Management Divert construction and land cearance debris from landfill disposal. Redirect recovered resources back to the manufacturing process. Redirect reusable materials to appropriate sites LaGyp gypsum board, Ceiling Panels, Ceiling Tiles & all metal sections are 100% recyclable Credit Potential : 1 or 2 PointsRequirements: Recycle &/ or salvage of at least 50% (1 Pt) or 75% (2 Pt) of construction demolition & packaging debris. MR Credit 1.3 Building ReuseExtend the lifecycle of existing building stock, conserve resources, retain cultural resources, reduce waste & reduce environmental impact of new buildings as they relate to material manufacturing & transport Ceiling panels and Ceiling tiles are reused, thus helping in conserving the precious resources Credit Potential : 1 PointsMaintain 100% of shell + 50% non shell (Interior walls & Ceiling System) MR Credit 3.1 & 3.2 Resource Reuse Reuse building materials & products in order to reduce demand for virgin materials & to reduce waste, thereby reducing impact associated with the extraction & processing of Virgin Resources Ceiling panels and Ceiling tiles are reused, thus helping in conserving the precious resources Credit Potential : 1 or 2 PointsRequirements: Use salvaged, refurbished or reuse materials, products & furnishings for at least 5% or 10% MR Credit 4.1 & 4.2 Recycled Content Increased demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, therefore reducing impacts resulting from extraction & processing of new virgin materials 1. Post Consumer - Paper 2. Post Industrial – Gypsum Credit Potential : 1 or 2 PointsRequirements: Use materials with recycled content such as the sum of post consumer recycled content plus one half of the post industrial content constitutes at least 5% (1Pt) or 10% (2Pt) of the total value of the materials in the project. 100% natural gypsum is used for manufacturing LaGyp gypsum board. Approximately 95% of gypsum waste generated during construction and demolition is recycled in many areas. The face and back papers of LaGyp gypsum board are typically 100% recycled (post-consumer and post- industrial). The use of recycled paper requires 27 to 44% less energy than manufacturing paper from virgin wood. GI suspension systems & partition frame can contain up to 25% post-industrial and post-consumer recycled iron. Suspension systems can be recycled. Think of Green… Think of LaGyp TM

Member of Green Buildings LEED Green Building Rating System Regional Materials – Less Environmental Impact Materials & Resources CreditIntent / RequirementLaGyp TM Contribution MR Credit 5.1 Regional MaterialsIncreased demand for building materials & products that are extracted & manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the regional economy & reducing the environmental impacts resulting from transportation Lafarge Boral Gypsum India is having the manufacturing facility in Kushkhera, Rajasthan. Our plant is strategically located to cover the major construction hubs of the Northern India within the stipulated distance requirements. As the gypsum is extracted, sourced & manufactured locally thus optimizes the negative environmental impact related to transportation. Credit Potential : 1 PointRequirements: Use a minimum of 20% of building materials & products that are manufactured regionally within a radius of 800 Kms The Manufacturing plant in India, Kushkhera (Rajasthan) All the major north Indian cities like (Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Indore, Bhopal, Lucknow, Kanpur) come under 800 Kms MR Credit 5.2 Regional Materials Increased demand for building materials & products that are extracted & manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the regional economy & reducing the environmental impacts resulting from transportation The majority of raw material used in the process is Natural Gypsum which constitute over 90% of the raw material used. Natural Gypsum is procured from mines in Rajasthan (within 800Kms from Kushkhera plant), Thus reducing the environmental impact because of transportation. Credit Potential : 1 PointRequirements: Of the regionally manufactured materials documented for MR Credit 5.1, use a minimum of 50% of building materials & products that are extracted, harvested or recovered ( as well as manufactured) within 800 Kms of the project site.

Member of Green Buildings LEED Green Building Rating System Healthy and Productive Environment Indoor Environmental Quality Interiors that breath with LaGyp CreditIntent / RequirementLaGyp TM Contribution EQ Credit 3.1 Construction IAQ Management Plan (During Construction) Prevent Indoor Air quality problems resulting from the construction / renovation process in order to help sustain the comfort & wellbeing of construction workers & building occupants Gypsum board is a dry trade compared to wet trade like brick and mortar hence reduce dust during construction/renovation. Gypsum boards being porous in nature allows the buildings to breath and naturally keep the inside air healthy Credit Potential : 1 Point EQ Credit 4.1 Low Emitting Materials Reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous or potentially irritating and harmful to the comfort and well being of installers and building occupants When LaGyp Gypsum boards are used to finish interior walls, paint consumption is reduced as absorption of paint is better Credit Potential : 1 PointRequirements: All adhesives & sealants used on the interior of the building (defined as inside of the weatherproofing system & applies on site) shall comply with the requirements of the reference standard. The Adhesive used in plaster boards is natural & eco friendly. EQ Credit 4.2 Low Emitting Materials Reduce the quantity of indoor air contaminants that are odorous or potentially irritating and harmful to the comfort and well being of installers and building occupants. Indoor air quality is dependent on a number of factors including the level of toxic emissions from the building materials & air circulation within the building. Lafarge Boral Gypsum India products consists largely of gypsum & recycled paper & does not contain the toxics inherent to the other materials. Being relatively porous it allows buildings to breathe thus contributing to creation of a healthy internal environment Credit Potential : 1 PointRequirements: paints and coatings used on the interior of the building defined as inside of the weatherproofing system and applied onsite shall comply with the requirements of the reference standard. VOC for drywall compounds are lower than 4 grams per litre.
