- GreenPoint Rated Verification Methods Defining a product as “green” is not often straightforward since green building is a whole-systems approach to designing, constructing, operating and maintaining buildings. Often, a specific product is just one component of a larger system. To accurately assess the true greenness of a product, consideration must be given not only to particular environmental and health impacts of a product from its manufacturing, use, and disposal phases—but also to how the product is utilized within the larger system. The greenest choice for YOU depends on many factors. We always talk about durability being a keystone of green building. But without looking at true lifecycle costs, it only tells part of the story. Look at metal: it takes a lot of energy to produce; but most metal has high recyclability value, so in theory could be “infinitely” recycled, thus greatly reducing the lifecycle cost. Have realistic expectations of what “durable” means. Everything needs some sort of maintenance, though many people now expect something to function perfectly without ever touching it. Rather than looking at maintenance as a chore, look at it as a way of loving & appreciating your materials, reconnecting with your home. Must ensure it’s detailed properly to ensure durability and good performance, coordinate with whoever is doing the detailing. And then ensure it’s installed properly (and tested where applicable)
