Specifying Healthier Materials Beyond Checking Boxes, Online Traning, November 13, 12 - 2 pm
Event Description
Specifying materials that meet LEED v4 and v4.1 requirements has gotten easier. However, many projects stop at just meeting these requirements, when we could be doing much better. The course will provide information on specifying products and materials that are Living Building Challenge red list free, avoiding chemicals of concern from the Six Classes, specifying products with transparency labels, and finding healthier products through third-party certifications and publicly available databases. This course is intended for building industry professionals. It can be held virtually or in-person and is a combination of presentation and discussion.
This is the seventh session of the Materials Matter: Embodied Carbon & The Path to Healthier Buildings training series. Join the series to explore the connections between climate, human health, and the circular economy - transforming the way we design and build for a better future.
Learning Objectives -
1. Articulate the value of using healthier materials and educate clients and team members about healthier materials goals.
2. Prioritize healthier materials’ importance to you, your firm, and your owners.
3. Optimize product searching and product selection using databases and the Common Materials Framework.
4. Translate sustainability goals into specification language.
Note - Funding Grants Available: Submit by October 23rd, 2025
