Athena Institute Partners with GreenWizard
By: Business Wire
Nov. 29, 2012 02:00 PM
GreenWizard® – a cloud-based product management and project collaboration solution that simplifies building efficient, healthy, and sustainable buildings – announced it has partnered with Athena Sustainable Materials Institute. GreenWizard and Athena will work to advance life cycle thinking in construction through easy access to LCA-based building product data. GreenWizard’s Product Management Workflow™ tools are utilized for the research, specification, modeling, documentation and submission of building materials and their associated projects, totaling over $10.8 billion in value within GreenWizard today. The Athena Institute is a long-time leader in LCA for construction products. These two organizations are now cooperating to bring LCA reports and documentation, such as Environmental Product Declarations, to product specifiers, bridging the product information gap between AEC practitioners and building product manufacturers. With this partnership, designers can achieve new credits in LEED that require LCA-based documents. LEED Pilot Credit 61 and the upcoming MRc2 in LEED v4 provide incentives to select building products with LCA reports or EPDs, and GreenWizard and Athena will work to help LEED projects achieve LEED Pilot Credit 63 and MRc1 in the forthcoming LEED v4, with a special focus on Athena’s Impact Estimator for Buildings tool. About The Athena Sustainable Materials Institute The Athena Sustainable Materials Institute is a membership-based, non-profit research collaborative bringing Life Cycle Assessment to the construction sector. The Athena Institute is working with leading-edge construction sector practitioners, product manufacturers, and policy makers in partnership towards the next generation of green buildings. Athena’s reputation as a credible, objective organization is built on its science-based, transparent collaboration and clear, robust information.

One of the cloud’s biggest draws is the capability to virtualize computing resources, allowing it to be consumed with the click of a mouse. But behind that simple click is an enormous infrastructure challenge that has recently been cited as a major cause for slower enterprise adoption....
In the old world of IT, if you didn't have hardware capacity or the budget to buy more, your project was dead in the water. Budget constraints can leave some of the best, most creative and most ingenious innovations on the cutting room floor. It’s a true dilemma for developers and inno...
