Green certification demystified: A holistic approach to integrating sustainable building products in design
Sustainability is redefining architecture by prioritising low-carbon design, resource efficiency, and healthier environments. Achieving this requires not just meeting performance metrics but embracing ethical sourcing, material health, and social responsibility throughout the building process.
Green building certifications like Green Star and LEED provide frameworks for measuring environmental, social, and economic performance. However, true sustainability requires a holistic approach, integrating ethical sourcing, material health, and social responsibility through tools like EPDs, PHDs, and GreenRate to address broader impacts and ensure long-term value.
Green Certification Demystified: A Holistic Approach to Integrating Sustainable Building Products in Design examines the connection between green building standards and the certifications that drive sustainable product choices. With a better understanding of how different product certifications support specific sustainability goals, professionals can create spaces that prioritise the health and well-being of occupants while fostering ethical practices and reducing negative impacts on workers and communities.
