The SBC Industry: Green Since 1952
The construction materials and methods that make buildings and homes “green” are getting a lot of press these days. Here are facts and talking points for SBCA members to understand how building components fit in the context of “green” building.
SBC Industry Perspective on Green Building
The SBC industry strongly believes that structural building components play an important role in green building. We support a complete “life-cycle assessment” approach to determine the total environmental impact of a building material, from resource extraction to demolition and disposal, as the most effective way to quantify the total environmental effects associated with using a specific building material.
Several green building standards have been developed for commercial construction. Currently, some new residential green building standards are being developed as well.
