Bertram Speaks At CONSTRUCT, Prepares For Greenbuild 2014
Paul Bertram, FCSI, CDT, LEED AP, Director of Environment & Sustainability for Kingspan Insulated Panels, was a panelist representing manufacturers’ perspectives at the 2014 CSI Construct in Baltimore. This first-time panel session titled; Aspirations vs. Reality: Conflicts in Sustainable Construction had over 100 in attendance where Material Transparency, EPDs, HPDs and material evaluation and specification were discussed. The discussion focused on the crucial goals needed to improve sustainability in buildings. CSI Construct is the only national trade show and educational conference for commercial building teams that specify and source building products.
The second event, Material Transparency & Evaluation, was designed to help manufacturers and suppliers understand their reporting options for Environmental Product Declarations, Health Product Declarations, and Product Transparency Declarations.
