Building Product Suppliers

Many building product manufacturers reacted to the clear demands from the design and construction community with positive steps toward transparency and product optimization. There has been a noticeable gap, however, between the intent of spec ifying or selecting better products and the reality of their use on projects. Too often, manufacturers — who have invested time and money in sustainability — still find their products losing out, often due to unchanged specifications when internal goals don’t align with everyday practice or value engineering by sub-contractors unfamil iar with a project’s broader goals. Product manufacturers who have taken progressive steps, but don’t see the industry following-through, may be susceptible to an unfortunate lesson: the business case for focusing on sustainability is unsustainable.
