on equipment destroys ozone molecules in the stratosphere and reduces the ozone layer's ability to block harmful ultraviolet light from penetrating Earth's atmosphere. CFCs in the stratosphere also absorb infrared radiation and create chlorine, a potent greenhouse gas, further harming the atmosphere.

Credit 4.1 1. Benefits and Issues to Consider Many building products contain compounds that have a negative impact on indoor air quality (LAQ) and Earth's atmosphere. The most prominent of these compounds—volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—contribute to smog generation and air pollution as well as adv

te high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other air contaminants. Other indoor environmental quality issues addressed by the LEED for Commercial Interiors Rating System include daylighting and lighting quality, thermal comfort, acoustics, and access to views. All of these issues have the potential to enhance the ind

agriculture. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface, clouds,and the atmosphere itself. Increased concentrations of greenhouse gases are a root cause of global climate change. Group (shared)
