It's Easy Being Green

Powder coating has many advantages for architectural applications.

Today's hot trend in architecture is sustainable buildings and low-emitting products. Two major certification programs are gaining importance for all who are interested in creating a better, "greener" built environment.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is committed to promoting "green buildings," which are designed, constructed and operated to boost environmental, economic, health and productivity performance over conventional buildings. This effort is spearheaded by the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program. For more information click here.

The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) promotes the use of low-emitting products and materials to improve public health and quality of life by creating better indoor air quality (IAQ). The GREENGUARD Certification Program establishes independent standards and tests products and materials. Manufacturers voluntarily submit products and materials for testing and rating so architects and designers have access to resources that are "green." For more information click here.
