The materials petal and the Red List in particular present a time-consuming challenge for a project team seeking Living Building Challenge certification. The LBC Materials Petal Database collects information about building materials by CSI Division. It includes a Regional Materials Map with a radius tool to facilitate product selection within LBC limits. The Database seeks to collect vetted products, helpful diagrams, and research from the architecture community to build a resource for all firms seeking to create buildings free of Red List chemicals. By crowdsourcing information, we can all learn from each other's research.

Disclaimer : This site only aggregates information gathered from various sources. The existence of a product on the list of a previous LBC project does not mean that the product is Red List compliant for current LBC projects. The entire process of Red List vetting must always be completed following the ILFI guidelines in the Materials Petal Handbook, which can be purchased here. This site only intends to provide a springboard for LBC pursuant teams beginning to choose products and manufacturers.
