We are excited to inform you that the level® certified product database has been enhanced to allow purchasers to identify furniture products that meet specific sustainability criteria.
The level standard includes many credits that map directly to LEED, WELL and other green building rating system credits, such as Low Emitting Materials. Input from specifiers in recent years has reinforced the importance of communicating exactly how level certified products support green-building projects and other purchaser interests. The new database functionality allows users to search on specific sustainability criteria and find products that have the potential to contribute to their projects or federal guidelines.
This level database technology platform aligns with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Sustainable Facilities Tool and provides procurement officials with access to furniture products that meet their purchasing needs through a program recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency. Specifiers in the private sector as well as the public sector have a common interest in simplifying the purchasing process. The new level database and alignment with GSA addresses that need.
The level searchable product database can be accessed by clicking the Certified Products tab on the level home page at http://levelcertified.org. For more information on the BIFMA standard or level website, please contact Brad Miller at bmiller@bifma.org or by calling 616-285-3963.
Sincerely,
BIFMA
