Green Standard Process Begins With April Meeting
The first meeting of the Green Building Standard Committee will be held April 19–20 at the National Housing Center, 1201 15th Street, NW. in Washington, D.C.
The committee of industry professionals headed by NAHB and the International Code Council is charged with creating the first-ever consensus-based residential green building standard. The standard will be based on NAHB’s Model Green Home Building Guidelines.
The Research Center — an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited standards developer — is serving as secretariat of the standard development process.
Applications for the consensus committee were due last week, and the committee will be finalized by March 28.
The preliminary agenda for the first meeting is posted at www.nahbrc.org/gbstandard, where additional information about the standards process is also available.
While the meeting is open to the public, those wishing to attend must send an e-mail to standards@nahbrc.org.
