INTRODUCTION AND HELP
Welcome to the BuildingEase Community !
Just by using BuildingEase, you are accelerating market transformation!
The BuildingEase philosophy is different from any other ”green product” tools in the market. Our approach is to solve fundamental pain points in your daily workflow, and then build sustainability in – so that everyone uses this tool rather than an (unfortunately) smaller group of hard-core, committed sustainability champions. The good news is we make it possible for every team within a company to automatically and consistently comply with your product criteria, best practices or standards whether they know or not; whether they care or not!
Just by doing your daily work, and not making any extra effort – your actions are speeding the transformation of the market. We leverage aggregated data from your workflow, including sales data from our Marketplace and Global Buyer’s Club, to automate feedback to manufacturers. This means, for the first time ever, they will know exactly how many millions of dollars they are losing in a week because their products do not meet owner and project team requirements. No more writing letters, signing on to advocacy letters – all of that will be done automatically! We all want more, better products but no one has the time to be a full time advocate!
BuildingEase engages the community in two ways, our FREE technology platform and our Community Intelligence programs.
Our platform, the first and only comprehensive workflow platform in the industry, has 4 main pieces:
NOTE: If you are looking for the Marketplace & Global Buyer’s Club How-To Videos – you can skip to the Marketplace by typing “Marketplace” in the search bar – or just scroll down the left hand table of contents to jump directly to “Marketplace” in this User Guide!
Our Workflow tools include 3 “Easy Buttons” to save you time and headaches!
1. Standard Setting Tool: easily create internal standards for your company (or architects can help their clients create standards!) then, in ONE click, anyone in your entire organization clicks the Compliance button and can see in a glance which products in your Material List comply (or not) with the standard, and why!
2. Reporting for AIA Material Pledge (or ESG): In your company’s Library, there is another ONE click to export your complete reporting for AIA or for your ESG reporting!
3. Side by Side Compare: in our catalog, you can choose which products you want to compare, then see contrast with ONE click on the “highlight differences” button!
Community Intelligence Programs
Our programs are designed to accelerate progress and eliminate unnecessarily repeated work we all do – but don’t need to!
WE built the scale engine, and YOU are steering it to a better tomorrow!
FOR HELP: you can contact [email protected] for anything that isn’t purely a technical issue – or [email protected] for technical glitches
