Transparency is defined as providing visibility or
accessibility of information, especially concerning
business practices.
With the advent of USGBC LEED® v4, more
industry attention is being placed on transparency
of building material ingredients and how those
materials affect the environment and human
health. This new program rewards project teams
for selecting building products that are verified to
minimize the use and generation of harmful
substances and that inventory the chemical
ingredients using an accepted methodology.1
But transparency is about more than just product
ingredients. It involves changing the way you look
at a product and engaging in a Life Cycle
Thinking approach to product evaluation.
