What don’t you get from an Environmental Profile?
Physical Properties- Thermal properties- Acoustic properties
Emissions In-situ-IAQ and VOCs
Benefits of an Environmental Profile
• Green Guide Rating can be used to compare:
– Materials with similar functions
– Specifications with similar functions
– Building designs over their expected lifetimes
• Credits in BREEAM
• Product differentiation
• Competitive advantage
• Open new markets
Cross-listing against Existing Certificates
Criteria for cross-listing:
–The product to be cross-listed against must have an existing Environmental Profile Certification.
–The product to be cross-listed must have no additional manufacturing by the owner or by the company buying in the product. (It is the same product that has been certified e.g. re-branded with a different name)
–Cross listing is dependent upon valid certification of original product.
