NAHB Green Homes Certification Program Shows Progress
The NAHB announcement amounted to a clean sweep of both homebuilder associations and well respected independent certifiers such as EarthCraft Homes in Atlanta, sounding a death knell certainly to the feeble attempts by the Green Globes folks to become the alternative housing standard to LEED. NAHB also announced that its Certified Green Professional educational designation, had been earned by more than 2,000 builders, remodelers and other industry members. The National Multi-Housing Council has endorsed this standard for its apartment builder members. Will LEED for Homes continue to remain the “gold” standard for residential green home certifications, or will it take a permanent back seat to the powerful NAHB’s standard? One would think that It’s time for the U.S. Green Building Council to decide how serious it is about maintaining LEED for Homes as an alternative to the NAHB standard and to back it with more organizational muscle.
