In-Depth Seminar Alphabet Soup: Making Sense of the Material Transparency Movement
Health Product Declaration, Cradle to Cradle, Pharos Library, GreenScreen, and Declare are just a few of the main programs that are driving transparency in the building product marketplace. This seminar will explore how each program works and its advantages. The presenter will discuss how to write specifications that allow practitioners to drive the material transparency movement as designers, builders or specifiers. Additionally, the presenter will clarify how these programs can contribute to points in LEED v4.
