| GreenSpec’s PASS Green Building Products label aims to help design professionals and the self-build audience easily identify what are truly green construction products from the ever-growing 'greenwash' that are now ‘out there’ Devised and operated by practising architects and specifiers for the benefit of building designers and manufacturers, PASS's evaluation criteria and specialist peer review process ensures that only ‘green’ products are endorsed. PASS has been developed by GreenSpec, the UK source of green construction design guidance, which started as a BRE project over 10 years ago. Offering evaluation and endorsement of building products, materials, equipment and systems featuring green characteristics, PASS also promotes competent and environmentally sound construction. Sandy Patience, architect and editor of GreenSpec, said: "Unfortunately, greenwash is on the rise and, in a world with thousands of products to choose from, it is essential to have a label architects and specifiers can understand and trust.†The GreenSpec PASS
provides manufacturers
with a route to apply for this valued third-party accreditation through its website. | |||
