EcoDesigner from Graphisoft is an energy evaluation tool for architects and school planners. The software allows designers to control the energy consumption of buildings and set standards in sustainable design. Users can access energy information in the early design phase, rather than relying on outside professionals to analyze buildings in the advanced design and early construction stages.
Biobased offers 1701s, an eco-friendly, low-emitting spray polyurethane foam for use with school construction projects. The soy-based, closed-cell insulation uses water as a blowing agent instead of potentially harmful chemicals to help ensure proper indoor air quality. It is Greenguard-certified for Children and SchoolsSM.
