The National Association
of Home Builders is currently working toward the publication
of its Green Building Standards in 2008. This program,
for residential construction, similar to earlier ones
for commercial and industrial construction, will be
based on a point system for various aspects of home
construction, combined with consideration of site issues.
The panelization method itself will provide significant
points, and the choices available through Smart Start
Building Systems for energy efficiency and sustainability
allow individual choices to determine the degree of
green desired.
We will provide more information when the National
Association of Home Builders standard is finalized. |
