Residential green building is no longer a trend — it is the future of building.
NAHBGreen offers builders, remodelers, developers, and other home building professionals a variety of services to learn, incorporate, and market green building.
Specific program components include:
- ICC-700-2008 National Green Building Standard
This ANSI approved standard defines green building for single and multifamily homes, residential remodeling projects, and site development projects. It allows flexibility for regionally-appropriate best green practices.
- National Green Building Conference
This annual conference features exhibits, education sessions, networking opportunities, tours, and the National Green Building Awards. It is the only national conference targeted to green building for the mainstream residential building industry.
- National Green Building Certification
The NAHB Research Center accredits third-party verifiers and is the sole certifying body for the National Green Building Program.
- Certified Green Professional (CGP) Designation
Classwork leading to the designation provides a solid background in green building methods, as well as the tools to reach consumers, from the organization leading the charge to provide market-driven green building solutions to the home building industry.
