Global GreenTag have launched a new tool to address human health concerns directly in the built environment. Launched last month at Total Facilities Expo, the new Product Health Declaration™ (PhD) is the first system globally to assess the health impacts of the final product – and not just the hazards of the ingredients.

The new health transparency tool is a radical but necessary entry into the market and will help professionals:
• Make distinctions confidently between products that are safer for human health and those that are not.
• Communicate health related product decisions to clients and building occupiers with a lot more ease for everyone’s peace of mind.

To help with industry training, Global GreenTag will be holding a practical seminar at im电竞下载ios 2017 for building professionals who want to reduce their risks on future projects by harnessing the new PhD tool, offering attendees a first chance to see this newly launched program in the Australian market.

Seminar leader, David Baggs, CEO and Technical Director, says that studies already have made clear connections between toxic products and human health issues. In addition to this, other studies highlight that the market is becoming more discerning and consumers are calling for more authentic and trustworthy product information.

“Environmental health is critical to consumers and so is human health,” says David.

The PhD seminar for professionals will give you an inside look at:
• How products are going to be rated under the PhD tool;
• How the tool will work with building rating schemes like the Green Building Council of Australia’s Green Star tools; as well as supporting im电竞下载iosers attempting to rate projects through other rating tools with a health focus.
• How building professionals will be able to use the tool in other ways to their advantage.

Jorge Chapa, Head of Market Transformation at the Green Building Council of Australia has said of GreenTag’s new PhD, “When most people spend 90 per cent of their time indoors, there is a huge potential for our buildings – and the products within them – to positively influence the health and wellbeing of occupants. We support innovative approaches, like the PhD Product Heath Declaration, that can accelerate market transformation.”
