  1. 1. planning process begins when a person, or a group of people, decides to put a building, or portion or a building, to a new practical use
  2. 3. 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. 5. Refers to the ability of a substance to cause an undesirable or harmful effect.
  4. 7. effect 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.
  5. 9. also used in latex paint. Called phenyl mercuric acetate (PMA), a preservative added to prolong the paint’s shelf life
  6. 12. Planning________ describe the phase of the space planning process that begins and ends when physical planning commences
  7. 15. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 19. Organic Compounds are commonly known as VOCs, compounds that release chemicals into the air. The term for this release is out-gassing. A compound consists of two or more chemical elements in specific proportions.

  1. 1. Describes what happens when substances that combine are many times more toxic than the individual substances. Common example: poisonous chlorine gas can result from mixing ammonia and bleach.
  2. 2. can be increased if occupants are more comfortable with thermal, lighting, and indoor air quality conditions.
  3. 4. programs are written documents that qualify and quantify the clients or users needs for a given project
  4. 6. contaminants Are living things that can harm human health.
  5. 8. 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.
  6. 10. 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.
  7. 11. Produce mycotoxins, or poisonous substances. When airborne, they are known as microbial Volatile Organic Compounds. (mVOCs)
  8. 13. Is an element occurring naturally in the ore scattered throughout the earth’s crust.
  9. 14. pollutants Are harmful chemical or waste material that is released into the air, soil, or water
  10. 17. Seal 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.
  11. 18. format is a widely used technique for visually organizing information of a variety of factors that is sometimes referred to as a chart or table.
