What do green professionals perceive as the most

sustainable building products and brands? Find out now.

BY GREEN BUILDER STAFF

ur green brand survey consistently ranks as one of the most widely
read articles we publish. If you know builders and architects, this
makes sense. They rely to a large degree on the recommendations of

their peers to make product choices. Of course, those selections depend
a lot more on whether a product is “sustainable.” It has to be durable,
O reliable, predictable and (sometimes) affordable. This is what makes a

survey of green pros different from a consumer survey. Their priorities are dif-
ferent. When they choose Ford trucks over Toyota, it’s not about a “gut feeling,”
it’s because of personal experience. They like the way the vehicles perform, and
how they save fuel and maintenance costs. As you review their responses, keep
in mind that these are people who field test products for a living.
