The product guides include curated lists of healthy and sustainable building products, which was previously known as GreenSpec. This offers an unbiased view of products reviewed by BuildingGreen, who does not accept any manufacturer fees for evaluations. There are guides sorted by category, along with “enhanced product guides” that are more in-depth for the most popular product categories. A site that partners with BuildingGreen, Designer Pages, is another powerful tool available with a free personal account (see Advanced Features for more information).
Below is a URL available through YouTube that focuses on Project Guidance:
The regular product guides include descriptive information about the category, related articles, and external link to suggested products on Designer Pages.
The enhanced product guides are indicated with a lightning bolt icon in the browse guides category lists.
The enhanced product guides include additional sections and information not included in the regular guides. This includes what to look for in products and what to watch out for, suggested products, descriptive information about the recommendations, certifications and documentation, 3rd party lists, related articles, and external link to suggested products on Designer Pages.
