How many points can be earned for Material Ingredients under all projects?

The correct answer is indeed that 1-2 points can be earned for Material Ingredients under all projects. This credit encourages the selection of products with verified information about their material ingredients, which is essential for promoting health and reducing environmental impacts associated with chemical exposure.

To achieve points in this category, project teams must assess material ingredients of products used in construction and opt for transparency regarding the content. The points are structured to reflect the level of detail and engagement with the supply chain, with 1 point generally for basic documentation and 2 points for greater transparency or compliance with specific criteria, such as the use of materials that meet certain sustainability certifications or standards.

This structured point allocation helps incentivize and reward projects for prioritizing healthier building materials, ultimately contributing to better indoor environmental quality and supporting overall project sustainability.
