(MM02) mindful MATERIALS Presents: How Sustainable Materials Become Standard - The mM Portal for Users (Part 2)

You know your firm needs to start specifying more sustainable materials - but you're just not sure how to identify what you need! You may have committed to the AIA materials pledge, or you're just ready to take action to build healthier systems, but understanding all the different facets of sustainable materials seems really overwhelming. This session is for you!

That’s exactly how mM ended up convening the industry to build the Common Materials Framework — an industry-approved and AIA-adopted foundation for material sustainability, to provide the industry with the answer to “What now?!”.

This is Part 2 of our Portal Launch Event, which tells the story of the industry coming together to build solutions that are integrated, streamlined and aligned to make sustainability the easy choice for every stakeholder in the built environment. Manufacturers see the clear demand, Architects know how to search for what they need and both sides are ready to prove impact. It all comes together in the mM Portal and the data ecosystem powering it.

In this second session, we’ll focus on the vision of the mM Portal, built with Ecomedes, and the Common Materials Framework to connect across all major material workflow tools and drive a common language for sustainability and ubiquitous presence of sustainability in decision-making, no matter where the materials workflow takes place.
In other words, this will change how the industry does business — for every project, for good. Join us to learn more.

P.s. Join us after the session for “The Data Download” from 2:30 - 3:00p in the mM pavilion. We’ll have coffee, snacks and the opportunity to talk with speakers, check out Portal demos and generally immerse yourself in the future of materials sustainability!
