| Environmental concerns, dependence on foreign oil, water shortages, vanishing species, all these factors are increasing the awareness of the need to be better stewards of the earth and its resources. Sustainable or green homes are one way to turn that awareness into action and make a positive difference to the environment every day. |
| What is a Green Home? A sustainable or green home is one that is built to standards that exceed common building practices and many code requirements. The most recognized national standards for Green building are maintained by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) |

| What is the U.S. Green Building Council? The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is the nation’s foremost coalition of leaders from every sector of the building industry working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. More than 8,500 member organizations and a network of 75 regional chapters are united to advance the mission of transforming the building industry to sustainability. The U.S. Green Building Council's core purpose is to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. |
| What is LEED? According to the U.S. Green Building Council website, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings; performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. |
