WHAT IS PHAROS? A Tool to find the best chemicals and materials to meet your needs. A Lens to separate green from greenwash. A Space where users can talk about what they want in green products. A Demonstration of a market for truly green products. An Opportunity for manufacturers to communicate with customers about what’s in (and what’s left out) of their products.
7
Recent Market Shift: Manufacturers continuing to design toxic ingredients out of products and processes
8
LEED PILOT CREDIT 11 “CHEMICAL AVOIDANCE IN BUILDING MATERIALS” Select Interior Products Without HFRs: Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) Penta, octa, and deca bromodiphenyl ethers (PBDEs) Tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) Tris(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP) Tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate (TCEP) Dechlorane Plus
9
LEED PILOT CREDIT 11 “CHEMICAL AVOIDANCE IN BUILDING MATERIALS” Select Interior Products Without Phthalates: Butyl Benzyl Phthalate (BBP) Di(2-Ethylhexyl)Phthalate (DEHP) Di-N-Octyl Phthalate (DNOP) Di-N-Pentyl Phthalate (DNPP) Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP) Diisodecyl Phthalate (DIDP) Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) Di-N-Hexylphthalate (DNHP)
10
LEED PILOT CREDIT 11 “CHEMICAL AVOIDANCE IN BUILDING MATERIALS” “Teams must evaluate potential human health tradeoffs resulting from replacing materials and products.” List of interior finishes used in a project Select 6 for analysis Select 6 equivalent products containing targeted chemicals & meet industry norm Comparison of health impacts (VOCs, toxic content, 3 rd party certification, etc)
11
TOP-10 GREEN PRODUCTS FOR 2012 PICKED BY BUILDINGGREEN InterfaceFLOR carpet tiles: no PFCs Upofloor resilient flooring: no PVC, phthalates, halogens and heavy metals EonCoat ceramic coating: no VOC, flame retardants *(Environmental Building News, October 6, 2011)
12
Recent Market Shift: Building owners and specifiers are becoming more demanding in the information they want
13
Halons Polystyrene Lead Mercury Cadmium Hexavalent Chromium CFC HCFC VOCs Urea Formaldehyde Arsenic, penta & creosote HFR PVC & other chlorinated plastics Copper Short PFCs Polyurethane Tins Chlorinated paraffins EPA Perkins+ Will LBC Phenol formal- dehyde LEED-HC Phthalates PBDE BPA Long PFC LEED Pilot GGHC More carcinogens More PBTs, asthmagens & endocrine disruptors More mutagens, reproductive, developmental & neurotoxicants CPA-HBN Red List & More!! PAHs, Phenol, PU, more metals & other REACH chems LBC watch
14
WHAT’S IN PHAROS? Chemicals and Material Library Building Products Library Certification Library Applications for Alternatives Assessment Product (re)formulation through ingredient comparison Product comparison to inform purchasing decisions
15
CERTIFICATIONS LIBRARY Pharos considers 3 rd party certifications from 48 certifying bodies in calculating product scores Searchable Browse alphabetical listings Browse by certification type (biobased content, etc.) Display for each certification provides a description and outlines how the certification factors into scoring.
16
CHEMICAL AND MATERIAL LIBRARY (CML) 10,668 chemicals and materials More than 30 chemical hazard and restriction lists Authoritative lists of endangered species CML uses these lists to describe the human and environmental impacts of chemicals/materials, including feedstocks, catalysts, and residuals.
17
Sample CML Display
19
BUILDING PRODUCTS LIBRARY (BPL) Current Categories Carpets Paints Thermal Insulation Resilient Flooring Wallboard Ceilings High Performance Coatings Decorative Laminates Adhesives MDF Particle Board New in 2012 Roofing Membranes Corner Guards & Wall Protection Countertops Wood Flooring Finishes Doors
20
BPL SCORING FRAMEWORK System wide: VOC - Volatile Organic Compounds UseTox - User Toxics ToxCon - Toxic Content MfrTox - Manufacturer Toxics RnMtrl - Renewable Materials RnEnrg - Renewable Energy Additional attributes specific to a category possible: Aquatic Toxicity Reflectance
