New Green Standard Comment Period Starts Dec. 21
The consensus committee for the National Green Building Standard met in Washington Dec. 3 to 4 to review public and committee member comments on the draft of the standard that was released on Aug. 10.
The draft is now being updated to reflect the changes that were approved and will be available on Dec. 21 for the next 45-day comment period. Members can see the the draft standard on the NAHB Research Center Web site.
Instructions on submitting public comments will be available when the standard is posted.
The new green building standard is a joint project of NAHB and the International Code Council, which promulgates model building codes. It will go to the American National Standards Institute for approval after the new public comment period is closed and consensus committee members have had the opportunity to review the comments and vote on any proposed changes.
When finished, the National Green Building Standard will encompass all residential construction, remodeling and lot and site development.
