As the goals of the building industry are shifting, the standards by which buildings are judged are changing as well. In addition to the current green construction standards focusing on building material content and energy efficiency, increased emphasis is being placed on the environmental impact of products from source to delivery. A reduction in overall energy consumption and emission of greenhouse gases is an additional focus. GreenWizard is committed to providing tools for the ever-changing green market and now allows you to present this vital Lifecycle Impact (LCI) data within our platform.

Why is life-cycle analysis data important?
- Design and Construction professionals are looking beyond LEED V3 and preparing for LEED V4, 2030 Challenge for Products, 2030 Commitment and more. GreenWizard’s partnerships with these organizations and others provide us unique insight into new systems of measurement and future direction. GreenWizard can now present and deliver LCA/EPD data like no one else in the market, and we are preparing to roll out more capabilities soon using this data.
- Current LEED Pilot Credits and upcoming LEED V4 plans will require more data and documentation than ever before. Additional MR LEED Credits may be captured by supplying additional granular product detail and documentation. This means that your customers will be looking for this product documentation and data in GreenWizard as they specify, evaluate, and submit products for credit or certification.
As a manufacturer with a listing on GreenWizard, we now give you the ability to add your life cycle analysis data into trackable data fields. This allows project architects to filter search results based on that data and find your products more quickly and efficiently.
