Various green building standards award points for the installation of healthier, environmentally-preferable, and locally manufactured building products, but finding locally manufactured building products can be difficult. Finding healthier building products can be easier, but wading through the green-washing is time-consuming. Green building standards incentivize the installation of healthier products through various low-VOC and “red list” labels (FloorScore, GREENGUARD, Green Label Plus, Red List Free, Cradle to Cradle, etc.) with some manufacturers also publishing the ingredient disclosures of their products. A guide for comparing the various product certifications and ingredient disclosures will be shared, along with their interaction with the most common green building certifications. The leading green building standards also award points for locally manufactured building products, due to the environmental and societal benefits of these products. Recycled building materials and energy efficiency products alone account for more than 320,000 American manufacturing jobs. This session will share Building Clean’s product consultation experience and lessons learned from helping numerous non-profit affordable housing builders throughout the U.S. find cost-competitive healthier and American manufactured building products. It will guide you through the new resources, considerations, and best practices now available to incorporate healthier and American manufactured products into your projects.
