Green building is one of the key trends in architecture and construction, which focuses on minimizing the negative impact on the environment and improving the quality of life for users. More and more investors and designers are opting for materials that meet rigorous environmental standards, confirmed by certifications such as LEED or BREEAM. These systems evaluate, among other things, energy efficiency, water consumption and indoor air quality, as well as the environmental impact of materials.

An important consideration is the selection of low-emission products. The Finnish emission classification of building materials distinguishes the M1 class, indicating the lowest level of emissions of volatile organic compounds and other harmful substances. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), which provide verified data on the environmental impact of materials throughout the product life cycle, are also playing an increasingly important role. This allows architects and builders to make informed decisions in accordance with sustainable development principles.
