Green Home Building Guidelines
At the 2004 International Builders Show, the National Association
of Home Builders (NAHB), with the assistance of the NAHB Research
Center, released Model Green Home Building Guidelines, which
would provide a practical nationally recognized baseline for
determining minimum thresholds for resource-efficient, cost-effective
home building. The NAHB Green Home Building Guidelines, created
for mainstream homebuilders, are designed to Highlight the
ways a mainstream home builder can effectively weave environmental
solutions holistically into a new home and to provide a tool
that local associations can use to create their own green home
building program.
