Now that we all understand the definition of green building, let's take a closer look at a few elements which will comprise the term green building. There are different degrees of green building that offer some challenges as well. For instance, green building in a remodel condition would differ from a newly constructed home. Depending on what part of the construction process is being discussed we will have many opportunities to implement the green factor.

| | NAHB To Launch Green Building Program | | 2007-11-20 09:34:00 | | The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) plans on launching a new program for it's members at at the 2008 International Builders’ Show in Orlando on February 14th. This program will "link dozens of successful state and local voluntary green building programs with a national online scoring tool for builders and verifiers. It also will provide a registry of green homes and green builders as well as extensive educational resources." .NAMB surveyed it's members earlier this year and found that 90% were interested in a voluntary green building certification program. NAHB President Brian Catalde stated that more than 100,000 homes have already been built and certified by voluntary, builder-supported programs across the country. .Read more about this program by clicking HERE.

| Now this is a green building | | 2007-05-15 15:01:44 | | There is a growing trend to make buildings greener, particularly those building that house government departments, as they appear to use more power than anyone else in the UK.
But in an attempt to establish a green image, many companies and government departments are searching for ways to prove that they are the greenest of them all.
This particular building is the National Film Theatre in London, the £50,000 ($100,000) installation was first covered in clay type substance and then millions of grass seeds were planted into the 100 ft vertical surfaces, now low and behold the grass has grown on the walls of this building. I would just like to see them cut the grass!
