PRESS RELEASE . 23 June 2015
Drum roll please…..
Here we go! After three years of hard work the Ongreening team has released the world’s first product database focused on BREEAM, LEED, CfSH, Estidama and other major green building rating systems.
This revolutionary tool provides building designers and construction firms with a unique one-stop solution for material selection and green product information.
Unlike other product directories, which are often too generic and useless for specifiers looking for valuable green product data, the Ongreening database allows specifiers to easily search for building products that are compliant with the most recognised standards and eco-labelling schemes.
Thanks to a cutting-edge algorithm and to over 10,865 criteria, derived from 55 different green building rating systems, products contribution to LEED, BREEAM, UK Code for Sustainable Homes, Estidama, and Hong Kong Beam Plus credit goals is automatically unveiled.
As a result, there is no need to spend long hours anymore to check product compliance through manufacturers’ catalogues and technical specifications or to collate all the evidence required to demonstrate product green attributes.
Aiming to encourage product data transparency across the building industry, we have simplify complex information and made available product data, detailed information and evidence to support product compliance in no time and free of charge.
The directory is being populated with new products on daily bases while additional product categories will be regularly added in the next few weeks.
