Industry Leaders Endorse the Impact of the Materials ToolSuite™
At Bora, using material health information to inform specification decisions is a priority. The ToolSuite will dramatically reduce the time required to access and understand this information, so it is immediately useful in making product selection decisions during any phase of a project. This is a big win for our project teams, our clients, and our collective ability to specify building products that are better for people and the environment.
Selecting and specifying building products requires researching and balancing a wide variety of factors. Materials ToolSuite makes it easy and efficient to quickly perform material health evaluations in the HPD Public Repository. The promise of these evaluations seamlessly connecting to the various product library and project workflow tools we use is game-changing. Setting criteria for automated HPD reviews which are digitally connected to where we work will save time, reduce errors, and most importantly, allow us to apply healthier materials criteria in our typical project work.
FAQ
What is material health?
Material health is about understanding what a product is made of and how those ingredients might affect people and the planet. It involves identifying and minimizing the use of hazardous substances while promoting the use of safer, healthier alternatives.
By evaluating and optimizing the material health of building products, we can create healthier, more sustainable spaces that promote the well-being of building occupants and minimize negative environmental impacts.
