American Chemistry Council Website Highlights Chemistry in Building and Construction Materials
WASHINGTON – The American Chemistry Council (ACC) has launched www.BuildingWithChemistry.org to provide architects, material specifiers, interior designers, and other building and construction professionals with tools and information about green building codes and standards, materials selection, and the role of chemistry in developing innovative, sustainable building materials.
“Many of the materials and products used to build the homes, schools and office buildings where we live and work every day rely on the safety, energy savings, durability, and other sustainability and performance benefits that the products of chemistry provide,” said Richard Skorpenske, Director of Advocacy and Sustainability at Covestro and Chair of ACC’s Building and Construction Subcommittee. “We created this new website to contribute to thoughtful, informed decisions about the materials in today’s innovative, modern and sustainable building applications.”
