Several local and international industry and government organisations assure the environmental performance of building products and materials by providing product labelling schemes and standards to be met.
Assessing the health and environmental impacts of materials is a challenge faced by all. It is a process that is further complicated by varying claims from product manufacturers, and the lack of definitive, industry-accepted processes for specifying responsibly.
The construction of residential and commercial buildings, and other infrastructure have a significant impact on people and the environment. The built environment requires the use of land, materials and energy, which in turn leads to greenhouse gas emissions and the production of other wastes.
