Resilient Flooring: Verified and Certified!
Sustainable certifications and declarations are not all the same – some are focused on a specific criterion, such as volatile organic compounds that impact indoor air quality, whereas others contain multiple attributes within their criteria, including environmental impacts, health and wellness impacts, and social impacts. The latter are often called multi-attribute or multiple attribute certifications and are developed utilizing an ANSI consensus process. Environmental Product Declarations are the documentation of life cycle assessment results – complete for specific products as well as for a product category using industry average data. Certifications, declarations, and ecolabels provide sustainability and health and wellness information that subsequently supports requirements in building rating systems, such as LEED v4.1 BD+C and ID+C, Green Globes, and the International Green Construction Code (IgCC).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
