Give Your Input on the National Green Building Standard

Homes like the Sage showcase home will continue to gain popularity in the coming years (see previous posts--or tour the home already!). Realizing the growing interest in green building, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the International Code Council (ICC), and the NAHB Research Center have initiated a process for the development of an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for green home building construction practices. The working draft of the National Green Building Standards, which is based on the NAHB's Green Building Guidelines, is now available for public comment.  See the "Public Input Submission Form" at the following link.

The green building movement is still in its infancy and therefore, we are given the great opportunity to weigh in on the national standards. Opportunities like this don't happen often--share your ideas  by April 15, 2007!!!

Have a great weekend! See you 'Monday Bloggy Monday'...
