Introduction to the Common Materials Framework Implementation Toolkit, a Free Webinar, November 19, 2 pm ET
Event Description
On November 4 at the Greenbuild conference and expo in Los Angeles, Mindful Materials and the organization's members and partners launched the Common Materials Framework Implementation Toolkit. Co-developed by mindful MATERIALS and Forum members and partners, this role-based resource turns shared sustainability goals into measurable progress—powered by digitized, interoperable materials data.
The Toolkit represents the collective effort of more than 70 organizations across design, construction, manufacturing, technology, and program partners collaborating through the mindful MATERIALS Forums. Since 2022, these leaders have defined the CMF, set cross-industry priorities, and mapped the steps to operationalize it.
Billions have been invested in high-performing buildings, but without shared, connected materials data, we can’t measure true impact. The CMF Implementation Toolkit helps teams:
Save time and money through reduced duplication and manual data entry
Strengthen credibility and comparability across programs and projects
Accelerate automation and consistency through digital workflows
Demonstrate leadership as clients and jurisdictions demand transparency
The Toolkit includes:
Audience-Specific Guidance: Practical steps for AEC/O firms, manufacturers, ecolabels & standards, and technology partners to align programs, data, and workflows to CMF impact areas.
Starter Guide: A clear, consolidated overview of the why, what, and how.
CMF Prioritization v1.0 & Data Ecosystem Tools: Airtable views and schema resources that surface priority standards and digitization pathways.
Rating System & Program Collaboration Overview: See how USGBC, IWBI, and others are driving alignment across programs.
Common Ask & Give Templates: Streamlined ways to request and share sustainability data.
Digitization Playbooks: Move from PDFs and spreadsheets to connected, machine-readable data.
Advocacy Tools & Case Studies: To equip teams to lead confidently and show impact.
Join Mindful Materials for a free webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 2 p.m. ET for a guided walkthrough of the CMF Toolkit and its applications.
