International Seminar on Approaches to Environmental Considerations for Building Products
To appropriately deal with the issue of global warming and resource
constraints, the promotion of the use of environmentally-friendly
building products is a must. New technologies and new products
corresponding to this promotion are actively being developed.
Building-product performance must be verified by a reliable third-party
so that the new technologies can be appropriately and smoothly
implemented.
