Assessment methodology Compatibility of the Italgraniti’s porcelain stoneware with internationally recognised green building rating systems and Italian GPP policies was reviewed by Ongreening. The assessment aimed to:
Verify building product compliance with 35+ green building ratings (i.e.) and Green Public Procurement criteria (CAM):
Identify product contributions to LEED®, BREEAM®, WELL™;
Provide guidance to advance product sustainability performance;
Help communicate product sustainability data transparently.
Product data, supplied by ITALGRANITI, was assessed by using ProductMAP®, the Ongreening’s proprietary data-driven algorithm that uses more than 11,000 sustainability criteria to automatically product eligibility and contribution to 35+ major green building rating schemes.
ProductMAP® underpins an online cloud-based advanced material database that enables design and construction team making product selection decisions based on material performance and sustainability criteria.
For its uniqueness and innovative approach, ProductMAP® was recently endorsed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the New York based International WELL Building Institute, two of the world’s leading authorities of the Green Building Industry.
