The HBA of Northern Kentucky was one of the
founding members of
Green Build Kentucky™, a statewide initiative to of
Home Builders Associations and other
entities promoting the
ENERGY STAR®
plus program. Builders participating in the
program must construct a minimum of one home
per year that meets the
ENERGY STAR®guidelines for energy efficiency. A third
party verification process is part of the
program requirements. Qualifying homes must
also meet the minimum requirements for the
NAHB Green Build
Standards.
Over time, energy savings
from building green can really add up. It’s
estimated that the savings can range from
35-50 percent over typical construction.
Additionally, these energy saving components
can reduce maintenance costs around the
home. The resulting decreases in energy and
water consumption, coupled with the use of
recyclable building materials, will have
less of an impact on the environment. The
National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)
has championed the first and only American
National Standards Institute-
ANSI-accredited residential green building
standards, in cooperation with the
International Code Council. These new
standards were approved and are the only
nation consensus standards for new home
construction. Other residential green rating
systems, including the LEED program, have
not met the vetted criteria necessary for
ANSI-accredited standards.
