What is Green Building? Green Building is…
Opinion and Facts (with the usual disclaimers!) Integration of human needs and desires into a healthy
whole system that supports and sustains the requirements of a healthy natural environment
Consideration of the building as a whole system from conception, through design and construction and for the duration of the life of the building
The building industry is the largest industry consumer of the world’s resources, consuming 36% of the world’s energy usage (Energy Information Administration www.eia.doe.gov)
Green Building Design IssuesThese 6 elements are loosely based on considerations in the LEED Rating System for
Green Buildings- commercial guidelines (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, developed by the US Green Building Council)
Sustainable Site Issues Water Efficiency Issues Energy & Atmosphere Issues Materials & Resources Issues Indoor Environmental Quality Issues Maintenance and Operations

What is a Green Builder Program? Market movement Usually voluntary—NC plan is An incentive program for Builders and Owners Must meet specific requirements 30+ programs across the US and growing

Successes and Opportunities Successes of Existing Builder
Programs Broad, whole building approach Incorporate Owner Education with
Builder Marketing support efforts Make the program mean
something through consultation or verification
Partnership between HBA’s and non-profit support groups
Opportunities for Builder Programs Incorporate more energy security
and renewable energy focus into programs
Some programs have renewables as 20% of their program, others it is less than 5%
Why Build Green? Energy Resource Conservation Indoor Air Quality Safety Affordability Security
