  1. 4. Describes what happens when substances that combine are many times more toxic than the individual substances
  2. 8. contaminants Are living things that can harm human health
  3. 9. also used in latex paint. Called phenyl mercuric acetate (PMA), a preservative added to prolong the paint’s shelf life
  4. 10. consists of meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
  5. 12. Refers to the speed at which VOCs are released into the air. In fast decay, most chemicals are released within minutes. In slow decay, there is an initial blast, and then emissions decrease slowly over a period of time. With some materials, VOCs are released over many years
  6. 13. can be increased if occupants are more comfortable with thermal, lighting, and indoor air quality conditions
  7. 15. Is an element occurring naturally in the ore scattered throughout the earth’s crust.
  8. 17. Are harmful chemical or waste material that is released into the air, soil, or water
  9. 19. another well-established technique for this initial step into physical planning is conventionally referred to as _____ planning. its use is particularly wide spread in large-scale retail and store planning

  1. 1. Refers to the ability of a substance to cause an undesirable or harmful effect.
  2. 2. Is an inexpensive product used in many building products, such as glue for wood products used in cabinets, particleboard. Designers should look for products with low formaldehyde emissions and/or formulations.
  3. 3. is an excellent transition between the essentially verbal analysis of program development and the completely graphic techniques used in physically planning a space
  4. 5. is a widely used technique for visually organizing information of a variety of factors that is sometimes referred to as a chart of table
  5. 6. a reaction that takes place when materials that may not outgas VOCs themselves, absorb the chemicals out gassed by other materials and then release them later. This is why VOCs can still be present in a building even after the offending materials have been removed. Carpeting and drywall are known to absorb the VOCs from latex paint.
  6. 7. Produce mycotoxins, or poisonous substances. When airborne, they are known as microbial Volatile Organic Compounds
  7. 11. Is an independent non-profit environmental testing program that uses a life-cycle approach. They evaluate a product or service beginning with material extraction, continuing with manufacturing and use, and ending with recycling and disposal
  8. 14. Organic Compounds are commonly known as VOCs, compounds that release chemicals into the air.
  9. 16. : Is a silicon mineral, crystal in development, forming into long strands. It is a common element, second to oxygen. Used in insulations, building materials, gaskets, paints, ceilings, floorings, and adhesives
  10. 17. contains high chemical content such as formaldehyde, benzene, styrene, toluene, and xylene. Designers should specify the newer biodegradable, recyclable, low emission carpeting.
  11. 18. which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. Its principal purposes are to raise awareness of green design and building practices and to encourage sustainability.
