Customers are increasingly demanding safer, less toxic, and more sustainable products. In response to this, a radical shift is happening in the marketplace towards increased product transparency. The new Materials and Resources credits in LEED v4 emphasize transparency and optimization, and provide incentives for project teams to specify products with transparency documentation of material ingredients and life cycle impacts. Several top design firms in the U.S. have already issued statements to manufacturers that they will no longer even consider specifying products without qualifying transparency documentation, including Health Product Declarations (HPD) and Manufacturer Inventories (MI). Elixir Environmental works exclusively with building product manufacturers to produce high quality material ingredient reporting such as HPDs and MIs. We also develop LEED Product Documentation, which provides LEED 2009 and LEED v4 for BD+C related product language, suitable for use in company literature, and by LEED project teams. By working to develop these documents, your company is not only highlighting its commitment to sustainability and transparency, but is ensuring that its products will continue to be a preferred choice for green building projects well into the future.
