The Buy Clean Blueprint for Governments
BuiltCold helps state and local agencies design and deploy Buy Clean programs—at lower cost, with minimal administrative burden, and full industry alignment.
What Is a Buy Clean Program?
Buy Clean programs are policies that mandate or incentivize the use of lower-carbon construction materials and can be applied to both public and private sector projects. While often implemented at the material level using Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Buy Clean can also encompass complementary approaches like whole building life cycle assessments (WBLCA) and carbon budgeting.
The common goal across these methods is the same: to accelerate the adoption of cleaner materials and reduce embodied carbon across the built environment—well beyond today's baselines.
