Building Material Resources Overview (A six-page appendix to the Action Guide)

AIA Materials Pledge Action Guide Appendix - Building Materials Resources Overview

Building material impacts are a vast and quickly evolving matter. The intent of this document is to direct design professionals to a
variety of resources that can help enhance commitments to the AIA Materials Pledge and make it easier to make intentional and holistically responsible material decisions.

Resources are categorized as: 

1. Material Impact Tools and Guidance
2. Product Research and Workflow Tools
3. Product Certification and Disclosure Databases.

Most resources are fluid and are being improved daily. We encourage you to explore the organization's landing pages for the most up-to-date information. As of Fall 2025, the resources are publicly available and free for design professionals unless identified with a dollar sign ($).
