The emergence of green building standards and codes
Green building standards and codes will continue to expand and shape the building industry. As sustainable building is becoming commonplace in the new construction market, green building programs are seeking new territory. The U.S. Green Building Council is now striving to transform the current building stock, touting its LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance. As green building standards and codes are adopted faster than traditional government regulations, product manufacturers must stay keenly aware of new developments in sustainable design as a baseline for continued market access. The pressure on product manufactures to meet new requirements and provide additional environmental information will continue. As key stakeholders in the building construction supply chain, building product manufacturers must actively engage in the green building standard-setting process to ensure that their technical expertise and perspectives are heard.
