  • Registration Closed

This course has been discontinued and is no longer open to new registrations. If you previously registered you still have access to the content for review.

Improve your specification process with this simple framework that integrates a product’s health, environmental, and safety risk information across all five life-cycle phases.

In the materials selection process, design professionals seek to balance numerous product performance attributes, including durability, health, safety, and environmental impacts. Transparency and life-cycle thinking are central to a robust process that enables designers to choose the most appropriate materials for their projects. 

Learn how this USGBC LEED pilot credit, Integrative Analysis of Building Materials, evaluates products using available life-cycle information, identifying those having positive environmental, health, and safety impacts. The credit informs project team decisions by providing access to information shared by building materials manufacturers on their product’s life-cycle impacts.
