Work begins on updating National Green Building Standard for 2012 edition

The NAHB Research Center is preparing to start work on the 2012 edition of the National Green Building Standard.

Originally developed in 2007-2008 by NAHB and the International Code Council, the 2008 National Green Building Standard was approved by the American National Standards Institute in January 2009, making it the first point-based rating system for green residential construction, remodeling and land development to be approved by ANSI, according to a Nov. 15 NAHB report.
