GBE PDC Green Building Encyclopaedia Product Data Collection
- GBE PDC has bigger ambitions than Green Building Product Data Collection (GBPDC) and Green Building Price Book (GBPB) in the early stages, but will inform their evolution.
- Inside and outside of the world of Building Information Management (BIM) it is important for a manufacturer, supplier or installer to have a readymade Product Data Sheet in their armoury of marketing and specification sales tools.
- Green Building Encyclopaedia (GBE) and Green Building Calculator (GBC) offer Product Data Collection services (PDC) to collect, collate, rationalise and edit; information on manufacturer, suppliers, products, accessories and systems.
- GBE PDC currently identifies 1260 pieces of information about manufacturer, product and system; this continues to grow as BIM and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) drives the demand for more robust open data
- Not all of 1260 apply to any one product, GBE typically collects 600 for any one product
- Collection and editing the information takes 1 to 2 days and a few iteration cycles as manufacturers/suppliers seek out less obvious, elusive or absent information.
- In some cases the data may already exist, say in the R&D, QA or Accounts departments, but has not found its way into the conscience of the marketing department.
GBE Product Data Sheet & Output Schedules
- Once the GBE PDC is complete, all available information that are relevant to the desired outputs, are collected into a single spreadsheet.
- GBE can then export selected information to up to 37 different documents or for other purposes
- These export documents can become part of the companies marketing or technical literature; presented and disseminated as they wish.
- There are many schedules for different purposes throughout the products complete life cycle.
- GBE Product Data Sheet generates documents for use in GBE Website pages and Green Building Calculator (GBC)

Support: Manufacturers and suppliers (product dataset providers)
- Once GBC Version 2 is released @ Futurebuild in March 2022
- A manufacturers and suppliers group will be set up
- A Zoom meeting will be held to introduce the opportunity to be included in Green Building Calculator (GBC)
- A much smaller set of data is required to be included in GBC’s datasets to be interrogated by GBC Calculators
- That set will grow as the 37 Versions of GBC are developed and more properties are interrogated
- If you wish to join this group
- Email helpline: info@greenbuildingcalculator.uk
- Email questions and responses will be added to new page or FAQ
GBE Product Data Collection (GBE PDC) Spreadsheet:
- An Excel worksheet has been created and is available on request
- As GBC Versions develop additional datasets will be required and new cells will be added to GBE PDC & GBPDC & GBPB
- Download latest version of the GBE PDC file for free
- To be completed by:
- manufacturer or supplier, at their speed, at their expense
- or by GBC at Manufacturer or supplier expense
- To be audited by GBC for corrections or completion by manufacturer or supplier or by GBC at their expense
- Data currently collected includes:
- Products, Accessories and Systems
- Sizes, properties and certification
- Appropriate Competent Applications
- Specification Information
- Suppliers or manufacturers
- Correlation to any BIM Models & Product Data Files
- Prices: realistic prices that are available to GBC users
