Pharos
The Pharos Project connects you to a network of building professionals and manufacturers committed to transparency as a core value on the path to sustainability. Pharos is not a certification or label, it is information; the critical health and environmental data about the manufacture, use, and end of life of building materials specified and used every day all delivered in an easy to use web based tool. Our goal was to make Pharos much easier to use – making it much more likely that you’ll find the information you are looking for quickly. We are unveiling a much-simplified presentation of the in-depth materials health data we are known for. Tabbed displays for product, chemical and other material profiles allow you to more easily locate and navigate among critical information including contents, hazards and Greenscreen data. With new tools you will be able to: Automate Information Requests – Issue information requests to manufacturers for HPDs directly from Pharos; Create Customized Product Lists – To be researched and specified. Built-in templates ensure that exemption requests conform to your firm’s values; Identify HPD and Greenscreen hazards – HPD and Greenscreen icons readily identify hazards on an HPD priority list and those with Greenscreen rankings.
