Expanded EBN Product Catalog Available

Thanks to the tireless work of Doug Patterson here at EBN and our Product Catalog partners David Johnston, Valerie Walsh, and Dan Darnell at What’s Working in Boulder, Colorado, the catalog now includes product literature from another 35 green building products—for a total of just over 100. In addition, the Product Catalog now includes listings and contact information (though not literature) for another 1,300 products, thanks, in part, to a special arrangement with The Harris Directory.

EBN and What’s Working invite manufacturers to include selected green products. Participating companies pay an insertion fee and submit literature for inclusion in the three-ring binder. Meanwhile, catalog staff develop detailed one-page product descriptions highlighting environmental features. These sheets are reviewed by manufacturers for accuracy, and to ensure they won’t be embarrassed by the content. Usually we can agree on wording that is both accurate and acceptable to the manufacturers, but occasionally a company decides to pull out at this stage.

The result is a unique collection of literature on green building products—a superb cross-section of materials being used in environmentally responsible building projects—along with an even-handed analysis of the environmental advantages (and disadvantages). The expanded

EBN Product Catalog sells for $89, plus $9 postage and handling. Just call EBN’s toll-free order line: 800/861-0954.
