SCS Global Services Showcases Certified Client Accomplishments
GreenBuild Booth Built from Products Meeting Leading Environmental and Sustainability Standards
SCS Global Services (SCS), a leading third-party certification body for the green building industry, showcased certified products from a dozen innovative green building industry companies as the building blocks of its booth at the Greenbuild 2013 Conference and Expo this week.
“We literally built our booth from the ground up with some of the most exciting and desirable products in the industry,” said Stowe Beam, SCS Managing Director of Environmental Certification Services. “It demonstrates just how creative architects and designers can be when specifying products and materials for their LEED building project.
The artfully designed booth (#1949) features SCS certified products:
- Flooring from Tarkett (FloorScore®), TerraMai (FSC Chain-of-Custody Recycled Wood)
- Lumber from Collins (FSC Certified), EarthSource (FSC Certified) and GreenWood Tree Farm Fund (FSC Certified)
- Furniture from Knoll (BIFMA level®), KI (Indoor Advantage Gold IAQ), and izzy+ (BIFMA level® and Indoor Advantage Gold)
- Tiles from Cooperativa Ceramica d’Imola (GreenSquared®)
- Wall panels from 3form (Certified Recycled Content)
- Wall coverings from Len-Tex (Indoor Advantage Gold)
Rounding out the booth construction is the Breathe™ living wall from another SCS-certified company, DIRTT.
“As this list of prominent companies and certifications demonstrates, SCS is uniquely able to satisfy the full spectrum of certification needs of our customers, combining certification services for added efficiency and cost savings,” said Beam. In addition to the certifications represented by products at the booth, services provided by SCS include Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Health Product Declarations (HPD), Responsible Source, and Environmentally Preferable Product certification, he noted.
