It's true. Everyone is going green and living green is everywhere. From
baby products to appliances and so much more. It's not just the craze,
it's the reality. People want to save money and energy and they want products that are safe for themselves and the environment. That is what Living Green is all about.
So, believe it or not there is now an organiztion for Green Builders.
The Built Green logo is your assurance that your builder has certified
that your new home contains selected Built Green features and meets the
criteria on the Built Green checklist. Be sure to check the list of
participating builders to locate a Built Green builder in your area.
Building projects are qualified using a Built
Green checklist
organized into six categories of environmentally friendly action items.
There are four separate checklists for four different types of
projects: homebuilder, remodeler, multifamily, and community. Features included in the Built Green checklists include:
- Green Building Codes
- Site & Water Protection
- Energy Efficiency
- Health and Air Quality
- Materials Efficiency
- Environmentally Responsible Home Ownership
This organization is growing as are every aspect of Living Green. Imagine if in the future all builders applied these checklist to their building projects. It would make for a cleaner, more efficient and safer environment for everyone.
