LEED-CI Credit 5.1 - Regional Materials

In total, 20 percent of the combined value of the construction materials and the furniture must be manufactured within a radius of 500 miles. This credit will apply if the installation of the finished product occurs within 500 miles of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

For reference, the following are the travel distances in miles between the Krug facilities in Kitchener, Ontario and the City Hall in selected cities:

Montreal - 393, New York - 496, Pittsburgh - 322, Baltimore - 476, Washington DC - 497, Philadelphia - 503, Charleston, West Virginia - 535, Indianapolis - 501, Dayton - 375, Columbus - 374, Cincinnati - 435, Chicago - 463. The LEED requirement is "within a radius of 500 miles" so a travel distance of 500 miles would be well within the 500-mile-radius requirement.

LEED-CI Credit 6 - Rapidly Renewable Materials

This credit is achieved through the use of rapidly renewable construction and Division 12 (Furniture and Furnishings) materials and products made from plants that are typically harvested with a life cycle of 10 years or less. To earn the credit, they must be used for 5 percent of the total value of all materials used in the project. Krug can contribute to this credit by supplying bamboo veneers. All other materials used on the project (beyond those in the furniture) will be taken into consideration in achieving this credit.

LEED-CI Credit 7 - Certified Wood

This LEED credit assesses all the wood used in the construction of the project, including the furniture. To achieve this credit a total of 50 percent of the wood used by weight must be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified. Krug can supply FSC certified product.

The post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled content of each Krug product is available. Many of these products can contribute to one or both credits.
