Material Fact Sheets

Designers are more frequently being asked to identify green building materials but do not always have the needed information. Using the life-cycle data, material fact sheets describing several stone types are being generated to provide useful information in this selection process, among other information. The one-page (double-sided) documents will summarize the current market for stone, regions of deposits worldwide, physical properties, applicable ASTM standards, as well as environmental data and human health considerations.

Energy Savings:

Switched to energy efficient lighting in our location wherever possible. Reducing the use of thousands of kilowatts annually. The following case studies highlight these positive attributes of stone and its application as a green building product.
