The NAHB has introduced Model Green Home Building Guidelines to help green building practices move into the mainstream. These guidelines—which are similar to topics covered in LEED certifications—focus on:

• Lot design, preparation, and development
• Resource efficiency
• Energy efficiency
• Water efficiency
• Indoor environmental quality
• Operation, maintenance, and homeowner education
• Global impact

The NAHB is also developing a National Green Building™ Standard. The standard assigns points in the areas noted above.
