Durham, N.C. - Attendees of the AIA 2004 National Convention and Design Expo as well as the Neocon World's Trade Fair 2004 had the opportunity to view a new “green search” feature. Tectonic Studio, formerly BlueBolt, recently announced the addition of environmental information aligned with leading green building systems and practices to its online library of more than 100,000 interior finish products, for free. The new feature, sponsored by Antron carpet fiber, enables specifiers to quickly find interior materials and finishes that meet their environmental specifications. Researchers and green building practitioners working with the company have identified environmental attributes that are needed to assess each of the 47 types of interior products found in Tectonic Studio's library. These attributes include product performance against LEED indoor environmental quality and materials and resources credits, environmentally preferable product certifications, and other industry-accepted standards. Data is now searchable at www.tectonicstudio.com.
