Making the Basics Work Better – Streamlining Reporting Ingredients and Screening for Material Health in Building Products.
Our HPDC team – Milla, Hal, Paula and Wendy – have arrived in San Francisco for Greenbuild 2022 – and we are excited to be here!
I am very pleased to say that we will have several announcements here at Greenbuild that take important next steps to make the basics of material health work better: with USGBC, Green Seal and the HPDC Program Pre-check Pilot. Be sure to attend our HPDC Annual Member Meeting – either in person or by zoom – for a preview of these exciting developments that will make material health reporting and screening more cost-effective and easier for manufacturers and project design teams.
We look forward to seeing those of you who are here in person at our HPDC booth – #1758 – on the Greenbuild Expo floor, where you can learn more about these new capabilities and all HPDC offers to help you take the next steps in your material health practice. We are here to support you!
You still have time to submit the story of your organization’s material health innovation for our Material Health Open Innovation Symposium, on November 15. We are extending the deadline for case study submittals to November 7. Case studies show how your team took the next step towards better material health of products and building projects. The four most outstanding case studies will be selected for presentation at the Symposium and receive our “Material Health Innovation Award.”
Thank you for your hard work to make the practice of material health a reality in the building industry!
Wendy Vittori, HPDC, Executive Director

GREENBUILD ATTENDEES: Learn How HPDC and USGBC Are Simplifying Material Ingredient Reporting for LEED.
HPDs published meeting the LEED v4.1 Option 1 Pre-check will now be automatically accepted for LEED project documentation. This new capability brings clarity and certainty to the LEED Material Ingredients credit qualifications for both manufacturers and project teams. Manufacturers can pre-check their HPDs for LEED using the expanded Program Pre-check features available in the current, v2.3 HPD Builder, which provides criteria-specific feedback on compliance. Qualification for GBCI-approved will be automatically designated when the HPD is published to the HPD Public Repository. For project teams, a clear GBCI-approved designation will be visible on the HPD report and searchable in the Repository, both through the native Repository user interface and through output to Repository API partners.
To learn more, please join our information session on Wednesday, November 2nd from 3-4 PM at HPDC’s Greenbuild booth #1758.
