Living in a Material World
Presented by Anthony Brower, AIA, LEED AP
Where is the new world of product specification going? Products that perform aren’t necessarily safe – and safer products don’t necessarily perform. Where can we find the common ground in this new arena of design performance? This talk will look at four items:
Understanding the key factors and constraints of material selections when imposing a chemical restriction, or health requirement, in the selection process
Identifying areas of most significant impact to building occupants
Define a truly actionable and achievable materials goal for targeted healthy material specification
Introducing awareness into the manufacturing process as a logical first step
