Speaker(s)
Description
Demand for sustainable construction products, driven especially by green and healthy building architectural criteria, has grown significantly over the last ten years. Today’s leading green building programs are viewed by the design community as important vehicles for advancements in health and environmental progression. Further elevating the green building conversation in the US today, the Biden administration’s views on climate change and energy are putting a spotlight on all things sustainability-related. Federal actions to promote environmental standards through building and construction procurement are having an impact on demands, not only in governmental construction, but throughout the entire real estate market. To satisfy present and future green and healthy building demand and to facilitate product conformance to rating programs, codes, regulations, and purchasing requirements, the North American ceramic tile industry is poised to capitalize on several tools and standards addressing health and environmental transparency and performance.
Learning Objectives
