Through the efforts of industry groups and their ‘green ’ building programs, such as the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), there’s a growing emphasis on environmentally responsible designs and materials including framing, flooring, furnishings and doors. This demand is evident in specifications calling for building products and materials made from wood that has been certified as having been grown, harvested and produced in an environmentally responsible manner. In this special report, VT Industries reviews the technology and procedures required to deliver architectural wood doors that comply with architectural specifications for certified materials.  \nIntroduction  \nToday, wood door manufacturers are responding to the growing trend in the direction of sustainable design, which is synonymous with “green building.”i Even more growth is forecasted in the coming years. A 2009 report from McGraw Hill states,“By 2015, MHC estimates 40%-48% of new nonresidential construction by value will be green. This would equate to a $120 billion-$145 billion opportunity based on MHC’s five-year construction market forecast.”ii  \nAccording to the California Energy Commission,“Sustainable buildings are not a new style of construction—they represent a change in how we think about, design, construct and operate buildings. Sustainable and green buildings use ‘off-the-shelf materials and equipment’ and can be very compelling to the architect, builder and owner.”iii  \nThe Commission explains,“Sustainable buildings cost less to heat, cool and light. That means lower operating costs for the owner. Sustainable buildings have shown improved comfort and performance for the occupants. That translates into higher sales prices and rents for the builder and developer.”iii  \n“Sustainable buildings produce less pollution, because they use less energy. They wisely use natural resources in their construction by lowering the consumption of building materials. Most importantly, they are healthier spaces to live and work.” iii  \nForest certification  \nSustainable design includes efficient use of natural resources, including products originating in forests that have been certified as sustainably well-managed by an independent, third-party certification organization. iv  \nCurrently, four forest certification systems operate in North America:v  \n• The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) founded in 1993 by representatives from environmental and conservation groups, the timber industry, forestry professionals, community forestry groups, and forest product certification organizations from 25 countries.  \n• The American Tree Farm System, representing the private, non-industrial forests in the U.S.  \n• CSA International, serving Canadian industrial companies and some smaller, private landowners.  \n• Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Program, which focuses on industrial forests in the  \nU.S. and Canada.  \nFSC certification has become the most widely accepted system for many architects specifying certified wood doors.vi Under this system, independent, third-party certifiers, accredited by the FSC, conduct comprehensive assessments of forest operations against three main standards: environmental responsibility, social benefits, and economic viability of forest management.vii  \nAccording to FSC, “If the forest operations are found to be in conformance with FSC standards, a certificate is issued, enabling the landowner to bring product to market as ‘certified wood,’ and to use the FSC trademark logo.”viii  \nTwo organizations accredited by the FSC to certify forest management operations in the U.S. are the Rainforest Alliance’s SmartWood Program and Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) . iv  \nThe forest certification movement is being driven by architects, specifiers, and their clients, including:  \n• Federal a","cbCaicKF7APA0MGx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicKF7APA0MGx","pdf",63440,13,"English","# Introduction\n# Forest certification\n## Forest certification systems in North America\n# Building Certification Programs\n## LEED\n## Green Globes\n## Collaborative for High Performance Schools","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the special report by VT Industries?\",\"answer\":\"The report reviews the technologies and procedures required to deliver architectural wood doors that comply with specifications for certified materials.\"},{\"question\":\"Which forest certification systems operate in North America according to the document?\",\"answer\":\"The document lists four systems: FSC, American Tree Farm System, CSA International, and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Program.\"},{\"question\":\"How does FSC certification enable certified wood to reach the market?\",\"answer\":\"If forest operations conform to FSC standards, a certificate is issued so the landowner can market products as certified wood and use the FSC trademark logo.\"}]","FSC Chain of Custody, LEED, and Certified Architectural Wood Doors - environmental sustainability special report | PDF",1791012657,33]
