For the past 15 years, BuildingGreen has recognized green building products that significantly improve upon standard “business-as-usual” practices.

These products help transform the industry by conserving energy and water, reducing emissions, and fundamentally changing how we approach our building systems. In this presentation of Top Ten products for 2017, BuildingGreen’s products and materials specialist, Brent Ehrlich, tackles some of our most challenging green building problems and finds innovation solutions across the board.

Solutions include products that avoid common applications of toxic chemicals, including treated wood and batteries for renewable energy systems. There’s an innovative ventilation product that provides fresh air, taking its cue from submarine technology. There are products for the building envelope and for dramatic water savings in bathrooms, and more.

Throughout this presentation, Ehrlich highlights products that reduce energy and water consumption, increase ingredient transparency, reduce material toxicity, and improve the overall environmental impact of our buildings.
