How to Benchmark and Report on Sustainable cladding and roofing material options

Sustainable cladding and roofing are essential for energy efficiency, code compliance, and green certifications. But stocking eco-products isn’t enough — builders, developers, and architects want data, documentation, and proof of performance.

With your ERP system, you can benchmark, track, and report sustainable exterior materials in real time — making it easier to support LEED projects and win eco-conscious clients.

🧩 WHAT MAKES CLADDING & ROOFING MATERIALS SUSTAINABLE?

High SRI (Solar Reflectance Index) values

Recycled content in metal panels or shingles

Low-VOC coatings or sealants

FSC-certified wood siding

Durability and end-of-life recyclability

📦 These attributes qualify for LEED MR and Energy credits and help contractors meet local green building codes.

📊 HOW TO TRACK & BENCHMARK IN YOUR ERP

Tag Materials By:

Recycled content (%)

Energy Star / LEED-qualifying

Certifications: EPD, HPD, Cradle to Cradle

Warranty and lifespan data

Build Custom Reports:

% of orders containing sustainable exterior SKUs

Average SRI rating per project

Total volume sold by eco-category (metal, wood, composite)

📈 Present this data to customers in eco submittal packets or bid documents.

📦 BUNDLE SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS FOR SALES

🏁 FINAL THOUGHTS

Sustainable exteriors are more than a selling point — they’re spec-driven, margin-friendly, and high demand. Use your ERP to track performance, manage inventory, and generate reports your customers will love.
