A Health Product Declaration (HPD)

HPD’s provide a standardized way of reporting the material contents of building products, and the health effects associated with these materials. Perkins + Will, Smith Group JJR, HKS, and other AEC firms encourage building product manufacturers to provide HPDs to be considered for product specification. HPDs are becoming mandatory for many LEED, WELL, and other green building projects. Visit elixir.com to learn more

Declare Label

The Declare Label is a product transparency disclosure that identifies where a product comes from, what it’s made of, and where it goes at the end of its life. Declare Labels contribute to the Living Building Challenge and LEED projects. Visit elixir.com to learn more

LEED Documentation

The USGBC doesn’t certify or endorse products. However, LEED documentation can help you get your products specified by listing your product’s contributions to the LEED rating systems. LEED documentation ensures product manufacturers have the tools to get specified on LEED projects. Visit elixir.com to learn more

WELL Documentation

WELL lists your building product’s sustainability attributes. Design professionals need this information when selecting products for WELL projects. WELL is one of the fastest growing ratings systems in the country and offers many specification opportunities for manufacturers. Visit elixir.com to learn more
