What do Dilbert and GreenFormat have in common? Not much you might speculate but CSI GreenFormat Task Team member Michael Fuller, AIA, CSI, CDT, NCARB thinks otherwise. A lot of reducing environmental impact and improving sustainability has to do with the products we purchase and use. This is the focus of GreenFormat - how to make the right choice based on a complete assessment of a product.
While Dilbert may not have it quite right, he was trying to make a choice about the products he selected. You can see his choice and Michael's presentaion on how GreenFormat can help manufacturers provide information to help designers make the right choice for their projects at http://www.slideshare.net/AWCWEST/greenformat-in-practice-how-manufacturers-and-designers-communicate-about-products.
Designers need the right information and manufacturers need an efficient way to provide it to them if they want to avoid the kinds of communication gaffes that Dilbert is rife with. See how Michael suggests that GreenFormat addresses this challenge and provides a forum for effective communications on building products environmental performance.
