Building Alignment: The Role of Project Certifications to Drive Impact

If you've been waiting for the tipping point for sustainable building materials, this is it.

After decades of stakeholder pledges, materials innovation, world-class education, industry
initiatives, LEED and Living Building Challenge versions, progress has been insufficient to meet
the urgent sustainability needs of our time—until now.

Hear from AIA, U.S. Green Building Council, WELL, and mindful MATERIALS on how they are
working together to align on the foundations of materials data and sustainability. This session
will showcase how utilizing mindful MATERIALS' Common Materials Framework and
recognizing the power of finding common ground will advance real, and long overdue, progress.
