Specification Tools for Building Product Manufacturers
Ron Blank & Associates Inc. has launched a comprehensive program to help building product manufacturers get their products specified. Recently, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) released its new LEED v4 rating systems, the most widely used green building programs in the world. Building product manufacturers have had a difficult time adhering to the guidelines outlined in the LEED v4 rating systems.
“The industry has changed significantly over the past decade. Building product manufacturers are under the gun to get their products specified in a highly fragmented and depressed marketplace. Architects are requesting Health Product Declarations (HPDs), LEED v4 product documentation, and up-to-date guide specs in order to specify building products. Manufacturers don't always have specialists in-house to develop this crucial documentation,” said Ron Blank, president of Ron Blank & Associates.
