NAHBGreen is helping builders, remodelers, developers and home owners/buyers build and understand high performance construction and development. The suite of services provides a comprehensive set of educational resources, advocacy tools, a credible green standard, and referrals to a national green home certification system by the NAHB Research Center, a qualified and independent third party. Collectively, these offerings help builders, remodelers and developers anywhere build green.
While some of the impetus to build green is being dictated by policymakers, increased awareness among home buyers is also driving the growth in this sector. Accordingly, NAHBGreen helps prepare the industry by educating and credentialing building professionals, developing measurements for green building, and advocating at the national level for credible, voluntary, and market-sensitive green building initiatives.
NAHBGreen includes:
Education about Green Building
- The Certified Green Professional (CGP)
- Master Certified Green Professional (MCGP)
- International Builders' Show
- Webinars and other industry-sponsored events.
Each year, NAHB honors excellence in green residential design, construction practices, and outstanding green advocacy efforts through the NAHBGreen Awards program.
ICC-700 The National Green Building Standard™
