healthy green building materials and general building materials
Indoor air quality (IAQ) issues have begun to receive attention. According to actual measurements for domestic offices, there are two of the more serious ones, one for formaldehyde (HCHO) and the other for VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), both very relevant for interior decoration.
May cause high risk of carcinogenesis and cause other chronic diseases. These building materials are widely used in construction and decoration. Therefore, green building materials are promoted, especially the use of building materials that reduce or prohibit high concentrations of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds. Improving the quality of the indoor environment will greatly help.
About Green Building Materials
The “Healthy Green Building Material Mark” sets the “Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC)” and “Formaldehyde” emission rate benchmarks for building materials to escape. The TVOC benchmark is calculated based on the accumulation of 12 index pollutants, considering health The performance characteristics of green building materials, the name of "healthy green building materials" can also be called "green building materials".
According to the MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR, R.O.C(TAIWAN)’s health and green building materials assessment benchmark, JIWEI Calcium Silicate Board has obtained E1 CLASS health green materials. Is the only manufacturer in Taiwan that has achieved the FKD E1 standard.
