NAHBGreen is another name for the National Green Building Program of the National Association of Home Builders, an organization based in the United States. ==Introduction== Green building as a process that incorporates environmental considerations into every aspect of the home building process – from choosing the lot and the house plan to material selection construction of the home and finally, its maintenance and operation. What constitutes "green" construction will vary according to the climate, geography and market preferences of the community in which the home will be built. NAHB members have been building green homes for years – each one appropriate to the climate, geography and market preferences of the communities where they build. Additionally, these builders certified more than 115,000 homes in local HBA green building programs between 1995 and 2008. These programs have transformed the market because they are a cooperative effort among builders, designers, environmentalists and elected officials. Green building thrives when builders, developers and remodelers can go green voluntarily, without mandates and overbearing strictures. When that happens, there’s no limit on how green a home can be. The NAHB National Green Building Program has several component parts: *National Green Building Certification to the National Green Building Standard and the NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines *The Certified Green Professional educational designation *The NAHB National Green Building Conference *The NAHB National Green Building Awards NAHBGreen homes and projects can come in all sizes, styles and price points – from starter homes to retirement villas. Each one incorporates the hallmarks of green building – energy, water, and resource efficiency, indoor environmental quality and effective lot design. State and local home builder associations "affiliate" with NAHBGreen by encouraging their members to seek National Green Building Certification and providing educational opportunities for builders, remodelers and consumers. As of June 2009, there were 102 state and local NAHBGreen affiliates. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NAHBGreen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
