Enterprise and asset owners and managers who lack data and expert analysis when making decisions run the risk of wasting time and money on the wrong tactics.” [ Learn about Sean ](https://www.ul.com/about/people/sean-mcrady) ![Sean McCrady](https://delivery-p133222-e1298791.adobeaemcloud.com/adobe/assets/urn:aaid:aem:92ea671e-6e26-4024-bb3f-8b585bf10077/as/92ea671e-6e26-4024-bb3f-8b585bf10077.webp?&smartcrop=Square&max-quality=90&width=400) ### Sean McCrady, CEICC, CMC, CIEC, LEED® AP, WELL AP, Fitwel® Ambassador Vice President | Advisory, Software and Advisory ### Download our brochure The built environment has been identified as the leading consumer of energy and contributor to carbon emissions.

[ Contact us ](#form) ## Frequently asked questions ### What are new regulatory drivers of progress in building sustainability? *add* *remove* U.S. states and cities, such as New York City, Vermont, California and Georgia are passing more stringent building energy codes aimed at reducing environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions. The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is also a major driver, with reporting mandates that include Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. ### How does UL Solutions help fight greenwashing in building products with eco-friendly claims? *add* *remove* There’s an abundance of building materials that claim “green” attributes, with no proof or substantiation. UL Solutions provides third-party services that help build trust and transparency. Look for product carbon footprint verification, Environmental Product Declarations, and UL Marks including UL GREENGUARD and ECOLOGO®. These all provide reassurance that a product has been tested and complies with relevant standards. Quickly find what you need via UL SPOT Product Database of 130,000 sustainable products. ### Smart building ecosystems can advance sustainability objectives — but how can you measure progress? *add* *remove* Building technologies now include advanced building control systems featuring IoT sensors, AI and cloud-based computing that help optimize resources and improve indoor environment for occupants. Independent assessment for holistic smart building programs can measure and verify performance in areas such as power and energy, health and well-being, life and property safety, connectivity, cybersecurity, and sustainability. ### What are the qualities of a healthy and sustainable building? *add* *remove* Healthy and sustainable buildings offer advantageous indoor air quality, water, hygiene, lighting and acoustics conditions that prioritize health, well-being and productivity for occupants. These environments can lead to better employee and occupant performance and increased property value. We can help demonstrate your building’s commitment to occupant health through the UL Verified Healthy Building program. ## Continue your sustainability journey ![Man examining a green leaf in laboratory](https://delivery-p133222-e1298791.adobeaemcloud.com/adobe/assets/urn:aaid:aem:4ee7c07a-1d94-4a67-8b07-468b6a54ff01/as/4ee7c07a-1d94-4a67-8b07-468b6a54ff01.webp?&max-quality=90&width=400) ### Sustainability [ Learn more ](/services/sustainability) ![windmills-1200x900](https://delivery-p133222-e1298791.adobeaemcloud.com/adobe/assets/urn:aaid:aem:b937c74b-f9e6-41d6-90f8-3344afa5c2e0/as/b937c74b-f9e6-41d6-90f8-3344afa5c2e0.webp?&max-quality=90&width=400) ### Energy Transition [ Learn more ](/services/global-energy-transition) ![Latin American man working at a warehouse organizing products on the shelves - business concepts](https://delivery-p133222-e1298791.adobeaemcloud.com/adobe/assets/urn:aaid:aem:79057a86-abe9-4ac0-b0ed-640c9ec3cda2/as/79057a86-abe9-4ac0-b0ed-640c9ec3cda2.webp?&max-quality=90&width=400) ### Product Sustainability [ Learn more ](/services/product-sustainability) ![Hands of scientists collecting water samples for analysis and research on water quality.](https://delivery-p133222-e1298791.adobeaemcloud.com/adobe/assets/urn:aaid:aem:981eff6d-7e3f-43c9-bd79-f961686db4fd/as/981eff6d-7e3f-43c9-bd79-f961686db4fd.webp?&max-quality=90&width=400) ### Enterprise Responsibility and Brand Reputation [ Learn more ](/services/enterprise-responsibility-and-brand-reputation)
