NAHB Model Green Building Guidelines

Developed in 2003, the NAHB Model Green Building Guidelines offer suggestions for builders in six main aspects of the building process: lot preparation and design; resource efficiency; energy efficiency; water efficiency/conservation; occupancy comfort and indoor environmental quality; and homeowner education.For each section, examples and suggestions are offered to help builders find solutions and options for incorporating green building methods, materials and technologies.

The NAHB added the National Green Building Program in February 2008, which offers a universal online certification tool. The national initiative links dozens of successful state and local green building programs, and will create a national registry of green homes.
