Describing Building Materials and Products
To consider sustainable initiatives and evaluation methods for green building materials, it is important to first define what building materials and products are. Characteristics include material makeup, application or use, product type, and performance capability. It is also important to understand if a building material is a commodity or a proprietary product. This often establishes whether a raw material’s origins can be traced. Additionally, the way a product is chosen, its country of origin, and what sector the product represents can all affect its sustainable impacts.
