HPD Pre-Check Webinar: Aligning Material Transparency with Washington State’s Buy Clean Buy Fair Program

Washington State’s Buy Clean Buy Fair (BCBF) program is reshaping how public construction projects evaluate materials. At its core, the program is driving a major shift toward material health transparency, requiring manufacturers to provide standardized environmental product data in order to participate in state-funded projects.

For manufacturers, this means product data must be structured, consistent, and usable within the program’s framework. For architects, engineers, and specifiers, it introduces a new layer of accountability—ensuring the materials they choose meet evolving public procurement standards.

Bridging the Gap: HPD Pre-Check

This is where HPD Pre-Check comes in.

HPD Pre-Check serves as a practical bridge between manufacturer documentation and the requirements of the Buy Clean Buy Fair program. It helps align Health Product Declaration (HPD) data with what the state needs—making it easier for manufacturers to submit compliant information and for specifiers to confidently select qualifying materials.

By streamlining this alignment, HPD Pre-Check reduces friction in the procurement process while supporting broader goals of transparency, sustainability, and compliance.

Join the Upcoming Webinar

Join us on Wednesday, May 27th at 9:00 AM PT (12:00 PM ET) for a live online webinar and Q&A session exploring how Washington State’s Buy Clean Buy Fair program works in practice and how HPD Pre-Check supports implementation across the building industry.

This webinar will feature experts directly involved in advancing low-carbon construction policy, sustainable procurement, and compliance infrastructure.

Featured Speakers

Hanna Waterstrat
Director of the State Efficiency and Environmental Performance Office (SEEP), Washington Department of Commerce

Hanna Waterstrat leads Washington State’s government “lead by example” efforts related to building decarbonization, fleet electrification, sustainable procurement, and clean electricity. She is leading implementation of Washington’s Buy Clean Buy Fair law and represents the state in regional and national partnerships focused on embodied carbon policy and low-carbon construction strategies.

With a background in both environmental science and sustainable business, Hanna brings a policy-level perspective on how transparency requirements are being integrated into public procurement and what these changes mean for manufacturers, agencies, and project teams moving forward.

Taylor Linnell
Co-Founder & CEO, BuiltCold

Taylor Linnell co-founded BuiltCold in 2022 to help federal, state, and local governments implement low-carbon construction programs through better software, data integration, and compliance tools.

His team supports Washington State’s Buy Clean Buy Fair program by connecting the standards, workflows, and material data needed to make compliance more straightforward for agencies and project teams. A major milestone in this effort has been integrating HPDC data directly into compliance workflows, helping bridge the gap between manufacturer disclosures and public procurement requirements.

Taylor will share insights into how the BCBF rollout is taking shape on the ground and what organizations should expect as implementation continues.

Additional speakers include:

  • Cory White — Technical Director, HPDC
  • Millali Marcano — Technical Manager, HPDC

What You’ll Learn

During the session, we’ll cover:

  • How Washington’s Buy Clean Buy Fair program works and what it requires
  • How HPD Pre-Check aligns manufacturer product data with BCBF requirements
  • What manufacturers should be doing today to prepare for state-funded projects
  • How public agencies, architects, designers, and specifiers can use HPDs to support compliance
  • Key program timelines and upcoming milestones to watch

We’ll also leave time for a live Q&A so attendees can ask specific questions about implementation, documentation, and workflow integration.

Why This Matters

As public procurement standards continue to evolve, transparency is no longer optional—it’s becoming a baseline requirement.

Programs like Buy Clean Buy Fair signal a broader industry shift toward healthier materials, lower embodied carbon, and more standardized environmental reporting. Manufacturers that proactively align their data with these expectations will be better positioned for future public projects and procurement opportunities.

Tools like HPD Pre-Check help bridge the gap between policy and practice—making compliance more accessible while supporting transparency across the built environment.
