Delaware Green for Green Picking Up Speed

Having launched only 5 months ago, the Delaware Green for Green homebuyer rebate program is really picking up speed. The initial $300,000 allocation of total rebate money, available to buyers of new-construction certified green homes in Delaware, is nearly one-third gone. Between actual paid rebates, pending applications and approved rebates awaiting settlement, nearly $100,000 has been committed/earmarked or paid. The word is spreading as new home buyers are being rewarded for buying green, energy efficient homes while assisting the local housing economy. The program was put together as a joint effort between the Home Builders Association of Delaware, DNREC, and the Delaware SEU.

Thus far, ALL of the participating homes in the program are receiving certification under the National Green Building Certification Program, the only national green building rating program to be consensus approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
