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.
