Learn How GreenFormat Can Help You Put the Right Product in a Green Project!

GreenFormat (www.greenformat.com) is a CSI format that provides a standardized framework for identifying the sustainable properties of building products:

• Easy access – GreenFormat provides web-based access to green product information for commercial projects.
• Save time – GreenFormat eliminates the need for a manufacturer to respond to numerous design requests, and cuts back on the time designers spend searching for product information. Through GreenFormat, designers can quickly obtain product information online, then contact the manufacturer of their choice with information in hand.
• Structured information – A product’s data is displayed in a spec-friendly result, organized by the industry’s standards for construction documentation.
• FREE to the design community searching for products – Manufacturers pay a nominal fee for inclusion.
• Developed by CSI – GreenFormat works with CSI’s other leading standards for construction documentation, including MasterFormat 2004.
