National Green Building Program Strengthened


Recently the NAHB Research Center strengthened the Green Building Program, by taking over a number of program aspects from NAHB, and announcing the retirement of the Green Building Guidelines certification program. The Guidelines was the original program which brought nearly 50 certified green homes to Delaware that would not have otherwise become green.
In contrast, the Standard certification program is a wider based program and bases the energy section on newer energy codes. It is the only residential green building certification program which is ANSI and ICC approved. It can be used to certify single family, multifamily, remodeling projects, and green subdivision sites.
