What percentage of carpets need to comply with material emissions requirements?

For the Pearl Building Rating System (PBRS), carpets used in a building must meet certain material emissions requirements to ensure that they do not negatively affect indoor air quality and occupant health. The standard mandates that 100% of the carpets installed in a project should comply with these stringent material emissions criteria. This requirement ensures that all materials contribute to a healthier indoor environment and adhere to sustainability benchmarks.

Having every carpet meet these requirements helps mitigate risks associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful emissions. It is a crucial part of creating a building that meets Estidama’s sustainability goals and improves the overall well-being of its occupants. Therefore, the requirement for 100% compliance stands out as a vital aspect of maintaining the integrity of the indoor environment in sustainable building practices.
