nahb green guidelines
The National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) voluntary Model Green Home Building Guidelines are designed to be a tool kit for the individual builder looking to engage in green building practices and homebuilder associations looking to launch their own local green building programs.
Developed with the mainstream builder in mind, the NAHB Green Home Building Guidelines are designed to help provide standards for the green design and construction process and assist builders in incorporating more green building features into homes.
