Why LEED?

Environmental Impact On Buildings 65.2% of total U.S. electricity consumption > 36% of total U.S. primary energy use 30% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 136 million tons of construction and demolition

waste in the U.S. (approx. 2.8 lbs/person/day) 12% of potable water in the U.S. 40% (3 billion tons annually) of raw materials use

globally

LEED Concept


How Do Doors Fit?

LEED Category IV Materials and Resources (MR)

LEED Category V Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)


Category IVMaterials & Resources

Credit Designation 4.1 - 10% Recycled Content - 1 credit

4.2 - 20% Recycled Content - 1 credit Marshfield DoorSystems utilizes

particleboard for these 2 credits Credit is determined by the percentage of

recycled material used, compared to the value of materials used on the project


Recycled Content Point Calculations

Post Consumer: $ for $ of post consumer products based on % of recycled material.

Pre Consumer: Recycled content is based on 50% of the product value multiplied by the percentage of recycled content in the product.

For example:Door cost $150.00 x $.50 x by recycled percentage. Marshfield recycled content is 50%. Each door contributes $37.50 to the recycled calculation.


You can have a larger “green” value contribution by selecting MDS’ value-added products & services with your Environmental Class Doors® Machining Finishing Glazing

All add to total cost of door which is then factored into total “green” building materials

Recycled Content Adding Value


Credit Designation 5.1 - 10% of materials used are

extracted, processed and manufactured within 500 miles of the project site

5.2 - 20% of materials used are extracted, processed and manufactured within 500 miles of the project site



Credit Designation 6.0 Rapidly Renewable Material

Use rapidly renewable building materials and products (made from plants that are typically harvested within a ten-year cycle or shorter).

Currently agrifiber doors are the only product in the door industry that meets this criteria, but MDS has chosen not to include agrifiber in its environmental product offering

Because agrifiber is new to the industry, the long term performance has yet to be demonstrated




Credit Designation 7.0 Certified Wood

50% of defined wood products must use FSC materials as certified by Smartwood

Marshfield offers two core types that assist in qualification for this credit

FSC certified stave lumber core FSC certified particleboard core (NEW)


Category VIndoor Environmental Quality

Credit Designation 4.1 Low Emitting Adhesive and

Sealants Version 2.2 limits this point to adhesives

and sealants that are FIELD APPLIED Marshfield products are neutral, meaning

we neither add to nor decrease the ability to qualify for this point

All Marshfield DoorSystems products utilize adhesives and sealants that meet low emitting requirements.



Credit Designation 4.2 Low Emitting Paints/Coatings

Version 2.2 limits this point to paints and coatings that are FIELD APPLIED

All Marshfield DoorSystems products utilize paints and coatings that meet the low emitting requirement.

By utilizing factory finished doors, no disqualifying material can be used for door finishes (plus you add value)



Credit Designation 4.4 No added Urea Formaldehyde

This is an all or nothing credit Composite wood and agrifiber products

used on the interior of the building shall contain no added urea-formaldehyde resins or adhesives.

Marshfield DoorSystems meets the no added UF requirement with all “UF” models

See our LEED credit matrix for more information



Credit Designation 4.4 No added or no Urea Formaldehyde

adhesives or resins are used in the following door constructions:• Particleboard • Structural Composite• Stave Core• Mineral Core

– See current MSDS for hazardous materials listings

Footnotes:(1) Marshfield doors are certified by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) and average 50% pre-consumer recycled wood fiber(2) Location of project site in relation to extracting, processing and manufacturing determines eligibility (must be within 500 miles)(3) Defined as resources that are planted and/or harvested in a 10-year cycle (examples: wheat, straw, etc)(4) Meets LEED standards for low VOC content. Point applies to field applied adhesives and sealants. (5) Meets LEED standards for low VOC content. Point applies to field applied coatings. The use of factory finished doors is not a disqualifer for this point(6) Stile & Rail application is manufactured with FSC certified MDF in limited profiles. Contact Marshfield DoorSystems for specific information.(7) Stile & Rail application is available either FSC Certified or No-Added UF (not both).

LEED means FSC LEED requires formaldehyde free Doors get you the credit FSC-certified veneer is all that is

needed You can decide to go for LEED

certification partway through the project

Green IndustryMyths & Misunderstandings


LEED is a voluntary program designed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Some Federal, State and Local jurisdictions require

LEED standards Marshfield DoorSystems does not give credits

We can only assist in obtaining the credit Marshfield DoorSystems’ Environmental Class

Doors® assist in satisfying LEED credit criteria Be prepared to resolve conflicting information

as there is plenty that exists in the marketplace
