Let's Build the Vision of the Materials Easy Button

Owners + AEC, imagine a world where:

• You have aligned material requirements that are used across the industry, supporting easier decision making and comparability of products to scale

• You can easily see what products meet these requirements in tools you’re already using

• Regrettable substitutions and trade-offs across impact categories are easily identified

• You can start to benchmark and optimize project level impacts with better product decisions

• You can educate your teams easily about sustainability and its value

• Your vendor and manufacturer partners are able to quantify ROI for sustainability investments

​

Manufacturer, imagine a world where:

• You are able to provide answers to all sustainability requests within the same system

• You have our sustainability information in tools you’re already using to make it easy to see how our products meet your sustainability program requirements

• You can more easily communicate how our sustainability investments support your project level goals

• You can quantify ROI for our sustainability investments, to effectively scale more impact reduction and further investment

Are you intrigued? We are too, this is the ‘Materials Easy Button’

​

Though we've made progress as an industry in driving demand for material transparency and optimization, we still see limited acceleration and uptake in scalable solutions. And we get why. There is no clear and concise market demand nor a mechanism for measurable ROI for holistic sustainability of buildings and it’s nearly impossible to measure. Data is everywhere, but there is no universal way to utilize it, resulting in the whole industry wasting time, energy, money, and resources in every attempt to quantify and reduce the holistic impacts of products in projects.

But there is a solution on the horizon.

To overcome these current barriers to get from broken to better, we need a few foundational pieces first. We call these things our Levers For Change:
