In August, the first statewide program based on these guidelines was launched - Green Built Michigan. Launches are also planned in suburban Philadelphia, Boston, central Arizona, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Las Vegas and the greater Baltimore area.
Consumer Demand Growing For Green Building
Green building programs are being launched all over the country as homebuyers look for ways to be energy-efficient and water-thrifty. Programs based on the National Association of Home Builders' Model Green Home Building Guidelines are going strong in St. Louis; Durham, N.C.; Albuquerque, N.M.; Dallas; Kansas City, Mo.; and Cleveland.
