Abstract
In recent years the green building movement has focused increased attention on chemical hazards in building products and the need to select safer alternatives. This paper describes a number of tools available to architects and other building professionals and explores the product evaluation process behind one resource, BuildingGreen’s GreenSpec directory, as a window into the imperfect reality of alternatives assessment in the building design field.
