NAHB National Green Building Standard
Thursday, 11:15am-12:30pm
In 2007, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the International Code Council (ICC) partnered to establish a much-needed and nationally recognizable standard definition of what is meant by “Green Building.” The resulting ANSI approved ICC-700-2008 National Green Building Standard defines green building for single and multi-family homes, residential remodeling projects and site development projects while still allowing for the flexibility required for regionally appropriate best green practices.
To receive certification, a builder, remodeler, or developer must incorporate a minimum number of features in the following areas: energy, water, and resource efficiency, lot and site development, indoor environmental quality, and home owner education. The more points accrued, the higher the score. Attend this session and learn how through certifying your project through the NAHB National Green Building Standard you can differentiate your projects in the market.
