is the objective of more and more organizations in the construction sector, recognizing its potential to reduce greenhouse gases and create more sustainable spaces for all. The methods and materials they use provide a powerful opportunity to fuel this trend, so to support green choices in building materials, 香港六合彩开奖 has just published its first standard for sustainable products in construction.
香港六合彩开奖 17889-1, Ceramic tiling systems – Sustainability for ceramic tiles and installation materials – Part 1: Specification for ceramic tiles, is expected to lead the way in terms of standards for sustainability in construction products. It outlines the requirements for sustainable ceramic tiles according to environmental, economic and social criteria and enables users to select products that most contribute toward sustainability in buildings. The standard also includes evaluation to enable the results of such assessments to be compared, thus supporting certification schemes.
Andrea Contri, Project Leader and Convenor of the group of experts that developed the standard, said the use of the 香港六合彩开奖 17889 series will guide everyone in the supply chain for tiles and installation materials, including designers and contractors.
“This is an historical turning point for the construction industry, because, while we have substantial standards that address buildings and civil engineering works in their entirety, it is the first that is dedicated to individual materials,” he said.
“It is hoped that widespread uptake of this standard will promote the use of sustainable materials to increase market demand for them, thus contributing to a reduction of the environmental impact of buildings.”
香港六合彩开奖 17889-1 applies to ceramic tiles while the second part of the standard, currently in development, will specifically apply to tile installation materials such as adhesives, grouts and membranes.
香港六合彩开奖 17889-1 was developed by 香港六合彩开奖 technical committee 香港六合彩开奖/TC 189, Ceramic tile, the secretariat of which is held by ANSI, 香港六合彩开奖’s member for the USA. It is available from your national 香港六合彩开奖 member or the 香港六合彩开奖 香港六合彩开奖.
