Red List Building Materials contain chemicals that have been designated as harmful to living creatures, including humans, or the environment. There are many "Red Lists" that have been developed specifically for building materials. These lists have primarily been developed by green building rating system developers〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Living Building Challenge; International Living Future Institute )〕 and architecture firms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Perkins + Will Precautionary List; Perkins + Will )〕 They are typically developed from chemical hazard lists published by government agencies, such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Laws & Regulations | US EPA )〕 European Union Commission on Environment (European Commissioner for the Environment),〔http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/reach/reach_intro.htm〕 and the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.〔https://www.dtsc.ca.gov/PollutionPrevention/GreenChemistryInitiative/index.cfm〕 ==Living Building Challenge Red List== The International Living Future Institute (ILFI) has developed the following red list of chemicals that may not be included in materials used in construction that seeks to meet the criteria of the Living Building Challenge (LBC). According to ILFI, the list is composed of materials that should be phased out of production due to health concerns. The list is updated as new science emerges. The most recent update came in May 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Living Building Challenge 3.0; International Living Future Institute )〕 The LBC red list is shown directly below. This list includes both chemicals and chemical groups. In 2014, ILFI published a spreadsheet that represents the full list of chemicals, as this spreadsheet expands these chemical groups into the individual chemicals of which they are composed. As of May 2014, this spreadsheet contained 815 (individual chemicals ). * Alkylphenols * Asbestos * Bisphenol A * Cadmium * Chlorinated polyethylene and chlorosulfonated polyethlene (CSPE); HDPE and LDPE are excluded from the Red List. * Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) * Chlorobenzenes * Chloroprene (neoprene) * Chromium VI * Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride * Formaldehyde (added) * halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) * Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) * Lead (added) * Mercury * Polychlorinated biphenyls * Perfluorinated compound * Phthalates * Polyvinyl chloride * Polyvinylidene chloride * Short Chain Chlorinated paraffins * Wood treatments containing creosote, arsenic or pentachlorophenol *Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in wet applied products In addition to this red list, LBC criteria mandate that petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides cannot be used during the certification period or be used in operations and maintenance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Living Building Challenge 3.0; International Living Future Institute )〕 The Red List and the Living Building Challenge The Living Building Challenge includes seven performance categories, titled as petals. The red list falls under the materials petal. A building project may not contain any of the Red List chemicals or chemical groups. There is an exception for small components in complex products.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Red List Exceptions; International Living Future Institute )〕 Each of these exceptions must include a written explanation. These exceptions will only be approved with a copy of the letter sent to the manufacturer stating that the product purchase does not ensure an endorsement. In addition, the final documentation must include a statement that asks the manufacturer to stop using the red list material or chemical. There are also temporary red list exceptions for numerous red list items for which viable alternatives are not yet commercially available. Declare Product Label (Declare ) is a product labeling program that relies on the LBC Red List as its primary basis for material evaluation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Declare Product Stanard; International Living Future Institute )〕 In creating a Declare label for a product, a manufacturer must disclose all of that product's intentionally added constituent chemicals to the designated 100 parts per million (ppm) reporting threshold. Additionally, the manufacturer must report the extent to which that product is compliant with the Red List. The three compliance levels are: (1) LBC Red List free, which means that the product is free of all red list ingredients; (2) LBC compliant, which means that the product contains some chemicals that ILFI has designated as temporary red list exceptions; or (3) declared, which means that the product is not compliant with the Red List or its temporary exceptions. Products with Declare labels are included in the ILFI's (Declare Product Database ). A project compliant with the Living Building Challenge must include at least one Declare product for every 500 m2 (5382 ft2) of gross building area and must send Declare program information to at least 10 manufacturers not yet using Declare.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Declare and the Living Building Challenge; International Living Future Institute )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red List building materials」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
