Building Green Homes for Our Future
The California Green Builder program features homes that annually save thousands of kilowatts of energy, thousands of gallons of water and acres of trees. The program encourages voluntary partnerships between builders and local governments to build cost-effective, green homes that benefit homebuyers and the community at large. Builders who embrace CGB differentiate themselves in the marketplace through resource efficiency. Documentable savings is a plus for local officials who must record greenhouse gas emissions and water conservation efforts. The California Green Builder homebuyers benefit from lower energy costs while their home makes less impact on the environment.
The California Green Builder Program is owned by the Building Industry Institute, a 501(c)3. The CGB program is administered by ConSol.
