ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The
Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) unveiled GreenFormat, a Web-based
database of green product information, at the U.S. Green Building Council's
Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Boston.
CSI demonstrated the new resource, accessible atwww.greenformat.com, during
the conference, drawing interest from manufacturers, designers, specifiers and
other construction professionals who make product choices in
construction.
GreenFormat is a new CSI format that provides a standardized framework for
identifying the sustainable properties of building products. The free,

product information, saving time for designers, specifiers, and constructors.

GreenFormat. Its downloadable results are spec-friendly.

goals.

on GreenFormat for a limited time.
