Services for manufacturers of more sustainable building materials

Manufacturers around the world are creating more sustainable building products, including items with reduced chemical content, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and off-gassing. But many building materials claim reduced environmental impact without substantiation.

We offer independent, science-backed testing, certification and verification services that help demonstrate that your products help meet regulatory and performance requirements for the buildings and construction community.

“My passion is the intersection of sustainability and public health. If we can reduce the exposure to chemical emissions at the product or building level, we can minimize the risk of adverse health effects to ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. This ultimately leads to a safer, more sustainable world for all of us.”
