Formed in 2008 the Building Green Works committee of the Home Builders Association of Jackson promotes energy efficient sustainable construction of new and remodeled homes through the NAHB National Green Building Standard. The committee and logo has been adopted by the Mississippi State Home Builders Association.
The National Green Building Standard is the first and only green building rating system approved by ANSI, the American National Standards Institute, making it the benchmark for green homes. The standard provides home builders and remodelers with a much more expansive third-party rating system.
As part of the stringent process required by ANSI, NAHB and the International Code Council gathered a fully inclusive and representative consensus committee composed of a broad spectrum of builders, architects, product manufacturers, regulators and environmental experts. The work of the consensus committee was administered by the NAHB Research Center, an ANSI Accredited Standards Developer.
Green building is the only sector of the economy that has continued to grow despite the deepening resession.
