Nov. 2, 2007 - Energy Efficiency Ranks No. 1 In Consumer Green Building Priorities
“Green building is the home

“But it’s up to the nation’s home builders to make sure the cure is not more

The voluntary program, based on
the three-year-old NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines, is set to launch
Feb. 14, 2008, at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla.
