Internationally Recognized:
National Green Building Standard (NGBS) includes high-performance building practices in six areas: Lot Design and Development, Resource Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality and Building Operation and Maintenance and is the first residential green building standard to undergo the full consensus process and receive approval from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). NGBS Green is the only residential green certification program that requires increasingly higher point thresholds in ALL categories in order for a home or apartment to reach the next level of certification.
First developed in 2008, the standard is regularly revised in accordance with the ANSI process. The standards have been widely implemented over the past decade. NGBS provides third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
