CSI has updated its GreenFormat<\/em> resource, which is now available to purchase by both members and non-members for $50.<\/p>\n

GreenFormat<\/em> is a standardized structure for organizing sustainable information elements associated with materials, products, systems, and technologies used in the built environment. It assists manufacturers in identifying key product characteristics, as well as provides designers, constructors, and building operators with the information needed to help meet sustainable design and operation goals.<\/p>\n

Identifying the criteria, standards, and applicable certifications using GreenFormat <\/em>provides a way to evaluate the sustainable characteristics of materials, products, and processes. It offers consistent means of communicating the sustainability features of building materials, products, systems, and technologies. The resource also addresses the information needs of significant stakeholders in the construction industry such as architects, specifiers, engineers, and interior designers. However, all parties involved who are otherwise connected to the design, construction, or management of facilities can implement GreenFormat<\/em>.<\/p>\n
