So what exactly is ecoScorecard and why should you care? ecoScorecard, whose offices are based in Atlanta, was created in 2007 to help advance the green building industry. ecoScorecard is a user–friendly online catalog that allows you to access green product manufacturers’ environmental data for free, anytime you choose.

Using data from third–party organizations, such as LEED green building rating systems, ecoScorecard allows green flooring manufacturers and other green product manufacturers to publish their qualifying green attributes in the ecoScorecard web–based catalog. Consumers can then easily access this environmental data to compare and contrast green building materials such as green carpet, green hardwood, and green laminate flooring.

To sum it up, ecoScorecard is a great eco–friendly program that allows consumers access to free green product environmental information to assist green builders and homeowners in planning green projects. In addition to providing their catalog service, ecoScorecard works directly with green manufacturers to organize and optimize their green product database.
