Online database of environmentally preferable building products

Download PDF Copy

Nov 18 2003

The US state of California is developing the worlds first online database designed to provide a complete list of environmentally preferred products. The complete database will be accessible to anyone, beginning in the later part of 2004.

Listed products will have to meet a set of criteria designed to promote healthy indoor environments, consume fewer resources over their life cycle, and promote recycling and reuse. It is expected that the comprehensive database project will assist owners, architects, and contractors in sorting through a growing number of products that make environmental and health claims. Although the focus of the site will be on products used in school construction projects, it is expected to be internationally relevant and applicable to all building projects.
