How Can HPDs Help My Business Grow?
HPDs make it easy for Project Teams to keep track of and monitor product research and communicate with manufacturers.
If you’re part of a project team at an architectural, interior design, or other related firm, you know how important it is to incorporate health considerations in your selection of building products.
Sustainable building certification requirements and a growing demand from clients to build safer has put pressure on firms like yours to pursue certifications from LEED, WELL, Clean Production Action, BIFMA, and many others. These certifications also increase your billable hours and qualify you for free press and other growth opportunities.
HPDs follow the HPD Open Standard endorsed by hundreds of leaders in the building industry. They provide project teams like yours with the easiest, most accurate and efficient way to select products that meet specific build criteria, performing hazard screening, and formatting designed to match most rating and certification programs.

What is the HPD Open Standard?
The HPD Open Standard provides a rigorously-defined specification for a standard format and instructions to accurately, reliably and consistently report the material contents of a building product, and associated health information. Since its initial release in 2012, the Standard has been voluntarily adopted by the majority of leading green building rating and certification programs, with the goal of harmonizing the reporting of the data encompassed within the Standard across all industry programs.
It ensures that the underlying information upon which ratings and certifications are made is accurate, reliable and consistent across green building programs. The end result is higher quality data and more efficient reporting and use of data across the entire green building ecosystem.
