This achievement recognizes GAF foraccommodations made in the building’s design that allow it to function during an emergency event. The award helpsfurther our commitment to global sustainability.GAF Green Building Playbook for LEED v4 Updated February 20203

GAF Green Building PlaybookLEED v4 for BD C:New Construction and Major RenovationAbout LEED The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensusbased, market-driven program that provides third-party verification of high-performance, energy-efficient sustainablebuildings. The LEED certification system is a program that certifies a building for satisfying specified green buildingcriteria and requirements. GAF currently references the LEED v4.0 BD C: NC1 rating system for this GAF Playbook.Starting last November 2016, all new projects were required to register under the v4.0 version of LEED . A LEED v4.1(beta) version was released in January 2019 whereby individual LEED v4.1 credits may be substituted for LEED v4credits. For more information, visit www.usgbc.org/leed.Why LEED ?The built environment has a profound impact on our natural environment, economy, health, and productivity. Greenbuilding practices can substantially reduce or eliminate negative environmental impacts and improve existingunsustainable design, construction, and operational practices. Working on a LEED project? Please visithttp://gaf.ecoscorecard.com for LEED documentation resources related to GAF products.Benefits of a "Green Building"Environmental: A Green Building May. Protect and enhance ecosystems and biodiversityImprove air and water qualityConserve and limit natural resource use and reduce solid waste going to landfillsEconomic: A Green Building May. Lower a building’s operational costsIncrease building values, assets, and profitsAttract and retain superior employeesImprove employee productivity and satisfaction and reduce sick daysPromote eligible incentives for LEED and other energy-efficiency improvements that are available at the federal,state, and local levels.
