Greenbuilt -The open digital portal for health- and environmentally documented buildings and building products verified by third party
We have since 2015 provided an open web portal for building solutions with recognised and documented health and environmental qualities. Our key focus is on construction projects, materials and products.
Our online platform have become an important tool for promoting and scale sustainable building products and technologies. This allow manufacturers, suppliers and builders to showcase their products and services to a wider audience, and can be accessed easily. They also allow architects, engineers and builders to virtually experience and explore different products, materials and technologies, which is particularly useful when it comes to planning and designing buildings.
We employ all available resources in order to champion the goal that everyone in the building industry shall choose environmentally verified solutions. We work strategically to create motivation and provide knowledge about projects, products and methods that ensure sustainable outcomes.
We work together with recognised architects, engineers, consultants, researchers and building clients to collect, document and evaluate products and solutions. Only products with comprehensive, recognised environmental documentation and credentials are presented by us.
Many of the leading building suppliers and decision makers are our clients and follow our newsletters and online information. Recommended solutions and options are provided on Greenbuilt.no with easy drop down menus and tables.

Science-based Targets and Third-Party Verification for Transparency and Accountability
Science-based targets, transparency, and third-party verification are essential components of Greenbuilt, providing a framework for designing and constructing sustainable buildings and infrastructures that not only the climate and nature crisis but also promote social justice and equity.
This ensures measurable goals based on the latest scientific understanding of the necessary actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the natural environment. Transparency and third-party verification ensure that goals are met and progress is tracked in a transparent and accountable manner. By using these tools, building professionals can make informed decisions for energy efficient and sustainable design, and demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship.
The third-party certification process provides transparency and accountability, as it allows building owners, occupants, and the public to see how a building measures up against established standards. This can help increase public awareness and understanding of the importance of sustainable building practices.
Finally, it can be used as a marketing tool, as it demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. This can help attract tenants, buyers, and investors.
History and resource group
Greenbuilt is a company that emerged in response to the growing awareness of the negative impacts of human activity on the environment. The comapany emphasizes the importance of designing and building structures that are energy efficient, sustainable, and in harmony with the natural environment.
Read. Building materials are the key to sustainable construction. Chris Butters
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the planet today, and the built environment. Buildings accounts for a significant portion of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Greenbuilt aims to address this problem by promoting the use of renewable energy sources, energy-efficient building designs, and sustainable materials.
The destruction of natural habitats and ecosystems, as well as pollution and other human activities, are having a devastating impact on the planet. Greenbuilt recognizes the importance of preserving and protecting the natural environment, and incorporates strategies for reducing our environmental footprint and promoting biodiversity.
To solve these problems, Greenbuilt relies on science-based strategies and technologies. Designs that take into account local climate and environment can help reduce energy consumption and promote biodiversity. Materials and technologies that are energy-efficient and made from sustainable resources, as well as strategies such as re-use, greatly reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
