The products of chemistry have an important role in advancing sustainability, health and wellness in the building, design and construction space. Check out the new issue brief from the American Chemistry Council and The American Society of Interior Designers on the connection between chemistry and materials and learn more on questions interior designers should consider when specifying products.

Materials made possible by chemistry are found all over buildings – from rooftops to wall and floor coverings, to insulation and sealants, to countertops and surfaces. Architects, designers and specifiers consider numerous attributes when deciding which materials and products to use in building design and construction.

From enhancing energy efficiency to reducing embodied carbon and improving building resiliency, the products of chemistry contribute to innovative solutions that can help address pressing global environmental and sustainability challenges.
