Green product certification programs are proliferating, each claiming to provide a guarantee of green performance. But some just address a single issue, such as indoor emissions or energy use. And others don't qualify as independent third-party certifications. LEED and other rating systems recognize some programs but not others. To separate the wheat from the chaff and write meaningful green specifications, designers have to know which certifications to trust and for what measures.
Learning Objectives:
- Differentiate between single-issue certifications and holistic environmentally preferable product certifications
- Describe what constitutes true third-party certification
- List at least six nationally relevant green product certification programs
Speakers: Scot Horst, LEED AP, and Nadav Malin, LEED AP
Provider: BuildingGreen Inc.
