RESET why?

Lung cancer has risen 56% in Beijing over a

decade, mainly due to air pollution. [1]

Cancer is the leading cause of death in China,

with lung cancer claiming the most mortalities. [2]

410,000 people (and rising) die each year due

to air pollution in China. [3]

RESET why?

Indoor PM2.5 levels are about 75% of outdoor levels. Buildings tend to be negatively

pressurized, pulling particulates indoors and adding them to indoor chemical gasses. [1]

Formaldehyde in more than 92% of Chinese households is above the maximum allowable

• standard. 76% of the households are 5 times higher than the standard. [2]

Concentration of individual indoor air pollutants can easily be 100x worse than outside. [3] The average person in Shanghai and Beijing spends 91% of their time indoors. [4]

RESET why?

Children are more susceptible because their immune systems are not yet fully developed and they

breathe in 50% more air per kilo of body weight than adults. [1] PM 2.5 exposure has been correlated with birth weight deficits of 189g and smaller birth lengths of 1.1cm in male infants. [2]

RESET introduction

RESET™ is a project certification that supports human health and environmental regeneration, beginning with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). It is applicable to offices, schools and homes. Unlike outdoor air pollution, indoor air is fully within our immediate control. By focusing on the choice of materials and indoor air monitoring, RESET™ enables participants to qualify design choices as well as quantify and track results.

TM

RESET Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

There are two types of certification, New Interiors and Existing Interiors. New Projects (Full Certification): Full certification is for projects that undergo a complete interior fit-out. It requires the completion of two stages:

• Embodied Impact
• Operational Impact

Existing Projects (Operational Certification): Operational certification is for existing projects that undergo minor retrofits. It requires the completion of one stage:

• Operational Impact

TM

RESET Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Embodied Impact: Chemicals embodied in materials off-gas over several years. RESET™ measures these emissions. Full certification requires the documentation of building materials being used within projects. 35% of all finish materials (including substrates) used within projects must have VOC certificates, quantifying their level of off-gassing. These figures must be cumulated by a VOC calculator, estimating whether or not the interior space is at risk of exceeding the maximum allowable limits for harmful chemical gasses*.

*Estimating chemical off-gassing for interior spaces is an important new field of research. Although individual materials may be considered safe and within industry standards, assembling them into a project does not guarantee safety of the project itself. To date, little to no correlation has been made between off-gassing from individual materials and the total off-gassing of the final projects. To achieve this, many data gaps must be filled. For example, not all finish and substrate materials have VOC reports. Moreover, those that do often cannot be directly compared if they followed different testing methods. The primary purpose of the VOC calculator is to catalyze demand for standardized testing across all materials, and establish a correlation between laboratory and field results. TM

RESET Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Operational Impact: Indoor air quality fluctuates according to outdoor pollution levels, temperature, humidity, minor renovations, the addition of new furniture, under-performing mechanical systems (due to a lack of maintenance or simply because they haven’t been switched on) and numerous other variables. Both full and operational certification require real-time monitoring of indoor air quality. All projects must demonstrate they can achieve healthy air results during 80% of occupational time for 3 continuous months prior to being certified. All projects must be re-certified every 12 months.*

*RESET™ focuses on results. RESET™ does not require design submittals for systems and spaces. Design can follow any path as long as it leads to good results. This approach helps reduce project costs, supports innovation and makes it easier for projects to adapt to place. TM

RESET Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Embodied Impact: Quantifying health risk. Full certification provides access to an online TVOC (chemical off-gassing) calculator and a database

• f compliant materials with their associated certifications.

Operational Impact: Quantifying Results. For both full and partial certification, real-time data is collected via specialized multi-parameter monitors logged into the cloud and streamed to smart phone.

RESET Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Certification Standards: Certification Standards for IAQ monitoring are based on international best practices. RESET requires monitoring for 5 related data points (this will increase to 6 (formaldehyde) in the next generation). These 5 data points are necessary to help identify issues locally and remotely, as well as build operational intelligence.* Levels must be maintained 80% of the time during hours of occupancy, calculated on a monthly basis.

*Example: a rapid increase in PM2.5 could be attributed to many causes. In isolation, this data is of limited value. However, when combined with data indicating a decrease in TVOC and a change in temperature and humidity, the cause can be narrowed to an open window or improperly closed door. Similarly, an increase in TVOC could be attributed to numerous causes. Combined with data indicating an increase in temperature and decrease in humidity, this could indicate a south-facing space, heated by solar gain for which the mechanical system is off or under-performing.

about

RESET™ is an acronym for Regenerative Ecological, Social and Economic Targets. It is a catalyst for the design and production of products and buildings that help regenerate our damaged environments. Started in 2004, it was developed internally for projects. It was publicly released in 2009 as an environmental benchmarking system for building products. RESET™ is now being released in stages for use in projects. RESET™ is administered by GIGA, an independent third-party focused on building materials. GIGA’s innovative approach to transforming the building industry has been celebrated internationally, from TED to the Clinton Global Initiative and CNN. For more information: contact@gigabase.org
