GreenWizard, Inc., the Building Product Management Solution and market leader in materials data and documentation for the construction industry is now a sponsor for the AIA Materials Matter working group.
A goal of this sponsorship is to drive awareness and education around environmental and health-related aspects of building materials to the design and construction industry. The role an Architect plays and the impact one can have on a project with respect to health and environment is vast. One key area that impacts every single person who interacts with a building is the materials that are specified, purchased, and installed. This effort is focused on transforming available information to knowledge for better decision-making around materials.
“GreenWizard is proud to sponsor the AIA's Materials Knowledge Working Group, bringing advanced solutions to market for building materials identification, evaluation, and specification. Providing access to building product information with greater transparency continues to be one of our primary objectives and this effort clearly supports that goal. It is also exciting to once again participate with other sponsor/leaders such as Forbo Flooring Systems, ASSA ABOY and Mohawk Group, on this effort.” said GreenWizard CEO, Jerry Lepore.
Building product decisions affect the environment, our communities, and our health. Harnessing the evolving body of knowledge about the impact of building materials is integral to improving the craft, science, and art of architecture. To help move toward this goal of product transparency, the building industry is seeking accurate and complete information about materials. GreenWizard has created the single source for building product data and documentation with this very goal in mind. The first of its kind, this free resource for the industry is designed to enable effective research and evaluation of building products, with dynamic access to manufacturer supplied documentation.
GreenWizard views this announcement as the catalyst for a growing relationship, one that is designed to bridge the knowledge gap between the design and construction industry and the materials they use.
