These “Green Attributes”—a set of broad criteria and definitions that encompass a product’s full life cycle—can help design teams distinguish green from greenwash, evaluate different options, and make appropriate product selection choices to ensure a high-performing building with the lowest possible environmental and health impacts.

LEED v4 has made the Materials & Resources (MR) credits more challenging. Buying building materials that are from within a certain distance, have recycled content, and are maybe low VOC are all still best practices but the new MR credits really push on manufacturers to have a greener supply chain and more eco-friendly materials. In this course, we will help you navigate Environmental Product Declarations, Health Product Declarations, Cradle to Cradle, and more all while looking at the specific thresholds that LEED now requires. With the subject matter expert panel, we also discuss early adopters and resources.
