News - Green Building News

As people across the world are becoming more environmentally and health conscious, demand for greener homes is on the rise. Recently, the USGBC launched the LEED AP Homes Exam and opened a public comment period for the LEED for Homes rating system. Developers in Northern Califronia are moving to meet the demand for green homes; two nearby neighborhoods have received LEED for Homes ratings for their buildings. Contra Costa County's first Zero Energy Community, Clarum Homes' Hansen Lane, received a LEED for Homes Gold Rating and Carston Crossing's Oakgrove Model 144-home neighborhood is being built with a commitment to certify under LEED for Homes.
