Builders can earn a “green building designation” by following any one of these green rating systems: California Green Builder (CGB), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), any County-approved green rating program or the County’s Green Building Basics Checklist. In return, builders will receive accelerated plan review, priority inspections, design assistance and recognition for all qualified projects. The San Bernardino County County’s “green” building checklist gives points for Green Builder Program, incorporating features such as solar powered outdoor lighting, energy-efficient appliances, and the use of 2007 recycled construction materials. Builders who earn a score of 85 or higher on the checklist qualify. Unlike LEED and CGB, the County checklist option does not require a fee. Residents and business owners in existing buildings can also receive incentives for improving their building's energy use. Permit fees will be waived for the installation of solar energy systems, wind-generated electrical systems, tankless water heaters, and highly efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Building projects which meet this criteria must achieve a LEED silver rating from, a two-globe rating in the Green Globes USA design program, or an equivalent standard. However, an exemption is generally granted for a building if the Institute for Sustainable Energy finds, in a written analysis, that the cost of compliance significantly outweighs the benefits.

The Massachusetts Leading by Example program oversees and coordinates Massachusetts state agencies, University of Massachusetts campuses, state and community colleges, to reduce environmental impact through the use of clean energy and efficient buildings. The Public Building Energy Standards sets a reduction goal for greenhouse gasses as well as reduced energy usage per FY2004 baseline. For all buildings where the state pays for energy, Leading by Example, energy reduction goals are: 20% by 2012, and 35% by 2007, Public Building 2020. Water reduction goals are also set at 10% by 2012, Energy Standards, 2008 and 15% by 2020. All new State construction must also meet "Mass. LEED Plus" standards as established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Sustainable Design Roundtable. Currently, this means: LEED Certification (for projects larger than 20,000 ft2), 20% better energy performance than Mass. code, third party commissioning, 50% reduction in outdoor water use/20% reduction in indoor use (per standard baseline projections), and conformance with one of four "smart growth criteria".

Appendix 120.AA known as the "stretch code", was adopted by the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards in May 2009, as an optional appendix to the Massachusetts Building Code 780 CMR. The stretch code may be adopted by any town or city in the commonwealth, by decision of its governing body following a public hearing. The MA stretch code requires a HERS index of 65 or less for new homes of 3,000 ft2 or above, and 70 or less for new homes below 3,000 ft2 (this includes multi-family units in buildings of 3 stories or less). Home additions and renovations have two options to meet the stretch code. The stretch code also applies a performance-based code to commercial buildings, with the option of a prescriptive code for small and medium-sized commercial buildings. Buildings smaller than 5,000 ft2 are exempt, as are building renovations. "Specialty" buildings (e.g. supermarkets, laboratories, warehouses) below 40,000 ft2 in size are also exempt.

All new construction and additions encompassing 10,000 gross ft2 or more of building area should achieve a LEED for New Construction Silver certification. A higher equivalent rating (Gold or Platinum) should be sought where practicable as funding is available. New construction encompassing less than 10,000 gross ft2 of building area should achieve the equivalent of at least a LEED Silver certification level where technically feasible. Projects of any size for which certification is not feasible due to technical reasons should use LEED for New Construction as a guide to incorporate as many sustainable features as economically feasible. Building renovation projects should use LEED for New Construction as a guide and will be evaluated for certifica-tion on a case-by-case basis, as the feasibility of incorporating sustainable features within the context of the existing building will vary widely from project to project.

The County established a Green Building Green Building Density Fund; builders that do not commit to a LEED rating Incentive Policy for Site contribute to the Fund. The contribution is calculated at a Plans, 2009 and Green rate of $0.045 per square foot. (This calculation is based Building Fund on the fees assessed by the USGBC for registration and evaluation of a formal LEED application.) The Green Building Fund is used to provide education and outreach to developers and the community on green building issues. If a project receives LEED certification from the USGBC, the Fund contribution is refunded upon receipt of the final LEED certification.

The Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED) created the Evergreen Sustainable Development Standard, a set of green building criteria that will be required for any affordable housing project applying for State funds through the WA State Housing Trust Fund (HTF) beginning in July 2008. The standard is based on a point system which awards points for a variety of sustainable building practices including: site location and neighborhood planning, water conservation, energy Evergreen Sustainable efficiency and the incorporation of renewable energy Development Standard, technologies, environmentally-conscious construction practices, and building materials and improved indoor-air 2008 quality. New construction projects must earn a minimum of 50 points and rehabilitation projects must earn 40 points. Most optional measures are worth 5 points, but can range from 2 points for installing low-flow faucets to 17 points for reducing the energy used for space conditioning by 50% when compared to the 2004 IECC building standard. Installing PV can earn 5 points for the first 1 kilowatt (kW) per housing unit, and 3 additional points for every 500 W over 1kW, up to 20 points. Solar water heaters that

Description
Built Green is a residential building program of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, developed in partnership with King County, Snohomish County, and other agencies in Washington State. Building and development projects are qualified using one of four Built Green checklists, depending on the type of project, organized into categories. Builders, remodelers, architects and developers use the checklists prior to construction to determine which features to include in the home. When construction is complete, builders send a signed copy of the checklist to the MBA, certifying that the home identified in the application contains the identified features. Unlike most other Built Green Programs, the number of points required is dependent upon the size of home. Based upon the builder’s submission, and after reviewing the application, the MBA will award the appropriate Certificate of Merit indicating that the home has received a 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-Star rating.

In 2007 the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the International Code Council (ICC) partnered to establish a nationally-recognizable standard.

Contact Information

A consensus committee was formed to develop this standard in compliance with the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The resulting ANSI approved ICC-700-2008 National Green Building Standard defines green building for single and multifamily homes, residential remodeling projects and site development projects while still allowing for the ICC-700-2008 National flexibility required for regionally-appropriate best "green" Green Building Standard, practices. 2008 Similar to other points-based prescriptive programs, a builder, remodeler or developer must incorporate a minimum number of features in the following areas: energy, water, and resource efficiency, lot and site development, indoor environmental quality, and homeowner education. The more points accrued, the higher the score. The Standard, however, includes more mandatory items and suggests that higher thresholds be met in several categories. The Standards are written as code language, giving municipalities the ability to adopt them as code.

First published in 2005, the NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines were written by a group of builders, researchers, environmental experts, and designers to provide guidance for builders engaged in or interested in green building products and practices for residential design, development, and construction. The Guidelines were also written to serve as a "baseline" so that NAHB members could easily develop local green building NAHB Green Guidelines programs. Divided into two parts, the Guidelines cover seven areas: lot design; resource efficiency; energy efficiency; water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, homeowner education, and global impact. The Guidelines offer three levels of green building: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. This program is supported and verified through local Home Builders Associations, sometimes in partnerships with state energy offices, utilities, and other entities.

CHPS Indoor Air Quality Prerequisites: a subset of CHPS Indoor Environmental Quality Requirements. Design ventilation systems to ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004: Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality; Provide a three-part walk-off system for all active entryways to capture dirt, particulates, and moisture before they enter the building. At active entrances provide grills, grates, etc. to remove dirt and snow; Prevent water accumulation by designing surface grades to slope away from buildings and building foundations in order to drain away water, snowmelt, and HVAC condensate to prevent the accumulation of water; Irrigation systems must be designed and installed so that they do not spray on buildings; During construction, keep materials dry to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria; If the building or a portion of the building is to be occupied during construction, meet or exceed the Recommended Design Approaches of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning National Contractors Association (SMACNA) IAQ Guideline for Occupied Buildings Under Construction, 1995, chapter 3; Replace all HVAC filtration media immediately prior to occupancy; Ensure that permanently installed filtration media have a MERV of at least 10 except for unit
