The Green Spec Playbook For Cleaner Builds Part 2
Chris and Phil continue their CSI spec walk through with Part 2, moving from Division 09 finishes into specialties, equipment, HVAC, and electrical. They explain how to write greener, healthier specs that hold up in real projects, from low VOC paints and flooring to induction, ventilation, and heat pump ready details. You’ll hear practical spec language, product level considerations, and the common ways “good” intent gets lost between paper and the jobsite.
