SCAQMD Primer

摘要

Congratulations! You've just passed your LEED exam with flying colors, and you aced the EQ section. Let me ask, what was your mnemonic tool for remembering SCAQMD? Do you still remember SCAQMD? What is SCAQMD, and how is it useful in Nevada? SCAQMD stands for the South Coast Air Quality Management District. LEED uses the South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 1168 as a requirement for meeting Environmental Quality Credit 4.1, Low-Emitting Materials, Adhesives and Sealants. The SCAQMD is an air pollution control agency for Southern California. Its reach encompasses 10,743 square miles and influences over 16 million people in California. The urban portions of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties comprise the second most populated urban area in the nation. The SCAQMD is the agency responsible for bringing the area into compliance with national and state clean air standards.
