This session will focus on material categories that have impact on our sustainable building projects and goals but are often overlooked since they are not typically associated with sustainability and/or directly interacted with by residents. Encouragingly, so much good work and progress has been made in removing unhealthy and unsustainable materials from our interiors. However, there is more work to be done in committing the same effort consistently to the entirety of the building and built environment. Additionally in this session we will discuss the roles Owners, A&D, and MEP firms play in responsible material utilization as well as what steps those stakeholders can take to further incentivize manufacturer investment.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the instrumental role Owners, A&D, and MEP play in whole building responsible material selection and specification
Gain insight into how manufacturers are working to meet the needs of a sustainable built environment and how the A&D and MEP community can influence them
Leverage industry materials commitments, such as the AIA A&D Materials Pledge and Contractors Commitment as well as building certification materials requirements to drive sustainability investment by manufacturers
Identify resources for finding responsible materials and begin transitioning to only more sustainable products that support health holistically
