The NAHB (National Association of Homebuilders) promotes the National Green Building Standard (NGBS). The NGBS is nationally recognized and considerably simpler than some the other common programs. It is very flexible and allows the builder a lot of choices rather than dictate every item. There is a free planning & scoring tool available online that makes it relatively simple to learn and implement. It is based on a sliding scale with 4 different levels to achieve – Bronze, Silver, Gold & Emerald.

The costs are generally lower than most builders would expect. We have testimonies of builders who have increased their prices PLUS moved their houses quicker than competitors. Many methods and materials are already being done by builders and re-modelers.



Clark County Washington is strongly encouraging the NGBS as voluntary program and wants builders to recognize the value of this program.
This can be used for new homes, remodels and additions. It is appropriate for any home: production, move-up, or custom homes.

We can work with you at the planning stage and then follow up at various stages of construction to ensure that you can achieve the level you are shooting for.Powered By Wordpress Tabs Slides
