Manufacturers: Learn about what attributes designers, constructors and building operators are looking for while organizing your products information in a single place!

GreenFormat is a questionnaire-based format that allows manufacturers to accurately report the sustainability properties of their products, and that provides designers, constructors and building operators with basic information to help meet ‘green’ requirements.

Manufacturers report the attributes of their products through a comprehensive questionnaire. Their entries are then easily organized for quick retreval or promotion. Download the GreenFormat Questionnaire (PDF) for free or visit www.greenformat.com to see how the information can be placed into a searchable database.

GreenFormat’s questionnaire for manufacturers references specific industry standards wherever possible, and allows individual manufacturers to report additional information at the end of each entry. Sustainability claims are verified by relating questions to standards and certifications, which benefits both manufacturers and designers. For manufacturers, the direct link between question and verification delivers a clearer understanding of the intent of the questions. For designers, having that substantiation and verification means less concern about “green-washing” or misleading information.
