Building
Has Workers' Health
in Mind
It
turns out that how
your workplace is
designed makes a
huge difference.
FOX 26's Melinda
Spaulding shows you
a new "green" building
in west Houston that
is helping employees breathe easier at work. "Ground-level
air conditioning lowers energy demands, has better indoor air quality and lets
workers control their own space temperature."

EQ Credit 4.1: Low-Emitting Materials:
Adhesives & Sealants
EQ Credit 4.1
stipulates that all adhesives
and sealants used on the interior
of the building shall comply with
the requirements of South Coast Air
Quality Management District Rule
#1168. SCAQMD Rule#1168 sets volatile
organic compound (VOC) limits for
adhesives and sealants applied on
site. A Tate floor system is installed
by using a multi-purpose construction
adhesive provided by Tate to fasten
the pedestals to the building floor.
Tate provides two brands of adhesive
which comply with the Rule#1168.
The most frequently used brand is
AIM 382; the Seal Bond 95 brand is
sometimes used in highly seismic
regions.

Recycled
Content Increased
demand for building products
that incorporate recycled content
and the documentation process required
for LEED certification have prompted
us to generate an easy to use
tool for calculating and presenting
our access floor system’s recycled content.
Section 1 below contains pdf sell
sheets designed to provide an overview
of Tate’s commitment to the
environment along with our position
on recycled content for each of our
flooring systems. Section 2 contains
easy to use Excel spreadsheets with
full detail of the recycled content
of our system and its components.
The spreadsheet is formatted in such
a way as to provide all anticipated
information as required in the LEED
2.1 standard under Material &
Resource Credit 4.1 Recycled Content.
We have prepared two excel documents;
one for ConCore systems and one for
All Steel systems.
