useful products

merges good building

science and smart

technology.

ANNUAL HOT 50 PRODUCTS LIST
GREEN BUILDER’S usually draws interest from dozens

of companies that want to showcase their latest environmentally friendly wares.

This year’s list attracted almost 200. Exactly why the eld nearly tripled from 2017

is subject to debate. Greater interest in going green? A developmental boom from
a growing economy? A veiled response to a less-than-eco-minded Administration?

Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: It’s no easy feat trimming such a massive

roster down to the real all-stars. Selections were based on how green the product
actually is, degree of innovation, how new the item is to the marketplace, and

how many products were submitted in each of the 12 categories. Those that just

missed the cut are in an Honorable Mention section at the end. But anyone who

took the time to dream up, develop or actually bring something sustainable to

market deserves a shout. So pat yourselves on the back, then check out what ended
up as the latest and greatest.
