When gathering certificates, data, and LEED documentation for Low Emitting Materials (LEM), most are straightforward. However, carpets are certified for emissions by their yarn and their backing. If your subcontractor provides a LEED cover sheet that gives the collection, product name, number (World Woven Collection, WW965, Autumn Warp), more than likely, it isn’t data you can…

The general contractor gets a generic spec that says “Obtain EPDs where available,” but no strategy/guidance of where to look, or a spec that calls for a product with an HPD but it costs 20% more. That’s where this guide comes in. It’s a starting point for where to most easily and readily find products that meet the requirements for EPDs and MIR.
This session focuses on the importance of specification content in Division 1 as well as other technical sections, and how the requirements outlined can be improved from standard industry templates commonly used as starting points for projects.

Unfortunately, there are way too many generic specifications that don’t set up the project team for success. And that’s what they are supposed to do, right? Specifications don’t have to be generic – where…

People in construction are busy. If I pop onto a jobsite, I don’t see too many people twiddling their fingers (though if you’re using Green Badger already to manage LEED, you’ve definitely got a bit of extra time in the day!). While I’m super proud of all the awesome FREE resources we provide the industry,…
