Here are the first 12 questions you should ask about any green building product you're evaluating—before you make your selection:
How will it perform its basic function as a building material or product?
How does it compare with products I use now?
Is it code approved?
Is it third-party certified?
Will it contribute toward project certification?
Is it available?
How will it affect my pricing?
Will it increase my level of risk or liability?
How will it improve the level of performance of my homes?
How will it contribute toward sustainability?
Will it require new sequencing or installation skills/trades?
Is it worth the investment for the benefits?
After answering these 12 questions, apply your own experience and expertise to filter out products that would put you outside your comfort zone in terms of unknowns and risks.
