The list currently includes Credit 11 from the Pilot Library. This credit, part of the LEED green building rating system, rewards avoidance of phthalates and halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) in building materials. The credit requirement language specifies interior finish materials and furniture, but teams may want to request credit for avoidance of HFRs in insulation,particularly where fire code regs make furniture difficult.
See LEEDUser for discussions on attaining the credit.
