Green building materials are a $433B business. But are they safe? About 700 manufacturers are publicly reporting the contents of their building materials through the HPD Open Standard to give more transparency about these products. What is it? Their Executive Director Wendy Vittori explains.
One potential failure could be materials don’t interact well.
One of those potential local failures, Yang explained, could come from materials that do not interact well together, similar to when your doctor changes your medications because they may not interact well when you take them at the same time.
These criteria are developed using what Vittori called “the consensus stakeholder method,” leveraging the expertise of the 300 member organizations in the HPDC and updating it annually to stay abreast of new developments. She explained their process this way: “We have technical committees and technical subgroups. So, the first underpinning of the validity is the standard itself.
The information is also verified by independent organizations in what Vittori called their “approved verifiers program… where they go through training to make sure in addition to understanding the chemical and toxicological and other elements that they're fully capable of understanding how to apply the HPD open standard to this data.
