OK, it is my turn to talk about Green Building!

The NAHB has its Green Building Guidelines that it just introduced at the International Builders’ Show in February. The United States Green Building Council has its Residential LEED Program and there are at least 90 other state and local green building programs that already exist across the country. One would think that things might get a little confusing for a builder or a manufacturer who wants to participate in the green movement.
Yes, there has to be national green building guidelines but the builder has to have local support to promote his commitment to sustainability. Having said this, I hope that the market defines a way to have a national program with local support from state and local HBAs as well as other local entities. To me, this is the only way “green building” will succeed over the long term.
