Abstract
The Center for Maximum Potential Building Sytems recent work has concentrated on three aspects of materials as they relate to the building industry: 1) very high recycled content and regionalized low impact material production systems; 2) a material flow procedure for the continental U.S. so that material specification reflects a combination of environmental impact and employment data; 3) the development of an "open building system", funded through the US Dept of Energy's "Build America" program and numerous local and state agencies, businesses and industries.
