AIA Materials Pledge
Explore our AIA Materials Pledge Features
Whether you focus on reducing embodied carbon, supporting human health, or ensuring supply chain equity, Green Badger helps you design with intention and impact and apply the AIA Materials Pledge without adding hours to your workflow.
Advanced Search Engine
Find sustainable materials fast by filtering for EPDs, HPDs, recycled content, and AIA focus areas.
LEED v5 Overlay
Link your AIA Materials Pledge commitments with LEED v5 Optimized Product credits to earn points more efficiently.
Project Aggregator
No more manual spreadsheets. Collect data from all your projects to make annual reporting and benchmarking easier.
Vetting Command Center
Compare materials with the AIA Pledge and leading sustainability frameworks all in one place.
Low-Carbon Discovery
Find low-impact alternatives for common materials to lower embodied carbon without sacrificing performance.
Real-Time Collaboration
Design teams, sustainability managers, and spec writers can access and update material data anytime, anywhere via the cloud.
Material Transparency is Here
The AIA Materials Pledge encourages responsible choices that benefit the environment and our communities. By selecting eco-friendly materials and being transparent about their origins, architects can design spaces that promote health and well-being.
Ecosystem Health
Protect biodiversity by viewing environmental snapshots for every product you specify. Choose materials with proven reductions in embodied carbon and check their performance against natural resource standards, so your projects support ecosystems beyond the building site.
Social Health & Equity
Support social justice by choosing materials from “Just” labeled or B-Corp certified manufacturers. Compare company social responsibility standards with product transparency data, making it easy to document supply chain equity and fair labor practices for marginalized communities.
Human Health
Easily choose safer materials by filtering for HPDs, Declare labels, and Cradle to Cradle certificates. Vet materials for VOC content and harmful chemicals based on your project’s health needs, and link your choices to LEED v5 Optimized Product credits to support occupant well-being.
Climate Health
Reduce your projects’ carbon footprint by finding low-carbon alternatives to your usual materials. Calculate embodied carbon with verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Life-Cycle Impact plans, then collect that data across all your projects to automate annual AIA reporting and track your firm’s progress.
Circular Economy
Use our advanced search to find products with recycled content or manufacturer take-back programs. Track and specify materials that are reusable, salvageable, or made for disassembly, and the platform automatically checks circularity claims for the AIA Pledge and LEED BPDO credits.
