AIA Toledo Allied Partners, Interface and Commercial Flooring of Toledo, present “Getting Started with the Common Materials Framework.”  

In- person at Commercial Flooring of Toledo

What makes a product or material "healthy" or "sustainable?" This presentation offers a more holistic approach to material evaluation with the Common Materials Framework (CMF). The course examines the significant impact of building products on our well-being and the environment through three lenses: embodied carbon, green chemistry, and circular economy. Alongside identifying these impacts, this course provides questions we can ask to drive the market towards better products for ourselves, our clients, and the world.
