Agilewaves Selected As Sustainable Industries 2008 Top 10 Green Building Product
(CSRwire) Menlo Park, CA - June 18, 2008 - Award-winning business magazine
Sustainable Industries today announced Agilewaves' flagship product, the
Resource Monitor(TM) as one of its 2008 Top 10 Green Building Products
winners. Sustainable Industries' Top 10 Green Building Products guide is
an annual publication profiling industry-leading green building products
selected by a panel of expert judges and the Sustainable Industries
editorial team. This year's Top 10 Green Building Products guide is the
first-ever digital publication to contain 3-D images of green building
products that can be manipulated by the viewer and plugged directly into
actual design sketches.
Agilewaves' Resource Monitor was selected based on its environmental
performance, scalability/market impact, innovativeness, design aesthetic,
value and compatibility with the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. Profiled in the
guide with accompanying 3-D images, the winners were announced today in a
Sustainable Industries Webinar featuring judges from the expert panel. The
2008 Top 10 Green Building Products guide is emailed to Sustainable
Industries subscribers and is available for free online at www.sustainableindustries.com/resources.
"In the years Sustainable Industries has produced this trusted and popular
independent guide, green building has advanced from cutting-edge to
mainstream," says Brian Back, Founding Editor and Publisher of Sustainable
Industries. "But not all products with eco-monikers are as high-performing
as innovative as builders and their well-intentioned clients demand. We're
confident the Top 10 Green Building Products guide provides a snapshot of
some of the most innovative building materials on the market today."
"We are honored that the Resource Monitor was recognized by Sustainable
Industries as a Top 10 Green Building Product," said Peter Sharer, CEO
Agilewaves. "It highlights the growing demand for innovative and
customized monitoring solutions that can measure not only a buildings' use
of gas, water and electricity, but also gauge the efficacy of proactive
green approaches such as solar panels and living architecture."
