How is GreenFormat different from GreenSpec and other product rating services?
GreenSpec and similar product rating systems only list the products that they have tested and that meet the specific standards and questions GreenSpec asks. GreenFormat is open to any manufacturer that wants to list a product. GreenFormat’s approach to greenwashing is in keeping with CSI’s respected standards: CSI does not endorse any product, but instead encourages trained construction professionals to consider the merits of products that could meet their needs, and make the best decision for a unique project. GreenFormat provides information, not evaluations or endorsements.
