Top Green Products Honored

The 2006 Top-10 Green Building Products have been named by BuildingGreen,Inc.

"The range of product types showing exemplary innovation is amazing," said GreenSpec coeditor Alex Wilson.

Three winning products save energy. Two save water. Three are green in part because they are made from recycled waste; one is a system of salvaging material. Rounding out the list are an innovative way of turning an ordinary material. concrete. into one of the best flooring options for commercial buildings, and a provider of renewable energy credits, an excellent way for any building owner to support renewable energy.

"Most of the Top-10 products this year have multiple environmental attributes," Wilson noted.

This year's winners include:

. Polished concrete system from RetroPlate

Underwater standing timber salvage by Triton Underwater Logging

PaperStone Certified composite surface material from KlipTech Composites,Inc.

Varia and "100 Percent" recy- cled-content panel products from 3form, Inc.

. Recycled-content interior molding from Timbron International

. SageGlass tintable glazing from Sage Electrochromics

Water-efficient showerhead with H2Okinetic technology from Delta

. WeatherTRAK smart irrigation controls from HydroPoint Data Systems,Inc.

Coolerado Cooler advanced, indirect evaporative air conditioner from Coolerado, LLC

Renewable Energy Credits from Community Energy. Inc.

A big driver in the development of green products continues to be the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Rating System, which awards points for the use of certain product types or for the energy or water savings that green products can achieve.

"Designers of LEED buildings are looking for green products, and manufacturers are responding," said Wilson.

Vandals Strike Siskiyou Site

Vandals caused $ 100.000 to $500,000 worth of damage to logging equipment being used on 150 acres of pine and Douglas fir timberlands near Hilt, Ca., just south of the Oregon border.

Although the initials of the Earth Liberation Front were scrawled on some machines, authorities don't believe eco-terrorists were responsible. "We really don't have any reason to be looking in that direction right now," said Dave Amaral, a detective with the Siskiyou County sheriff's office in California, where the vandalism occurred. "It's not real consistent with what we've seen in the past."

According to Steve Avgeris, coowner of Hilltop Logging Inc., Medford, Or., it appeared that the vandals may have had master keys. "They came equipped with the right tools," said Avgeris. "They knew what kind of equipment we had." Nine pieces of equipment were damaged, including bulldozers and a variety of loaders.

The vandalism will probably halt the operation for the rest of the year, affecting the 20 families who depend on the business for their livelihoods. "They didn't just destroy some obscure business," said Cheri Avgeris. "They affected people's lives."
