Pro Clima System's Declare Labels and Red List Free Materials

Pro Clima System's Declare Labels and Red List Free Materials

475 has achieved the Declare building product transparency label for our best-selling tapes and membranes. The Declare label aims to transform the marketplace through transparency and open communication by serving as a voluntary ‘nutrition-label’ for building materials. Declare integrates with the Living Building Challenge by providing product ingredients in support of the program’s Red List and Appropriate Sourcing Imperatives, streamlining material documentation and project certification.

Green Hammer's Cowhorn Vineyard & Gardens tasting room project is using Tescon Vana and Tescon Primer RP for airtightness on sheathing.

Green Hammer, a unified design-build firm based in Portland, Oregon, was an excellent ally for 475 - one of many helping to drive the demand for such labeling. They are using Declare-labeled Pro Clima products on their Cowhorn Vineyard & Gardens tasting room project, which is pursuing Living Building Challenge Petal Certification.

"We believe in using healthy, high-performance materials in our buildings," said Stephen Aiguier, Green Hammer CEO. "The Declare label provides quality assurance and transparency, giving us and our clients the peace-of-mind that our buildings are safe and healthy for people and the planet in every aspect of their extensive life cycle."

With the initiation of the Declare label, these Pro Clima products meet requirements for both Living Building Challenge and Passive House certification, two of the most robust and stringent green building certifications. Alexandra Batzer, Living Building Challenge project coordinator for Green Hammer adds, "achieving the Materials Petal for Living Building Challenge projects is not an easy feat. Pro Clima's ability to provide product information, references, and technical support was invaluable in our quest to eliminate Red-Listed chemicals from our projects."

More than 300 products from leading green building manufacturers have already been listed in the Declare database which can be viewed here. Accepted products may display their Declare label on their products – signaling to the world their leadership position in the marketplace. There are over 70 different manufacturers participating in Declare, with products in 14 CSI Divisions.
