Critical Issues When Comparing Whole Building & Building Product Environmental Performance Article Swipe
Guides, standards, product category rules, and environmental product declarations have emerged to evaluate environmental impacts within the buildings sector. These efforts have certainly moved the field forward, but as of yet still do not ensure comparability among building products or whole buildings. In this paper, we aim to address critical issues and make recommendations to practitioners and those developing guidance to enable more robust comparisons of building products and whole buildings.
