SBIC’s Green Buildilng Guildelines was the first national green home building resource written by builders for builders. While it is still primarily a builder’s
guide, the information will be valuable to anyone who wants to learn more about the various aspects that make up green home design. For example,
homeowners may find it a valuable resource when working with a builder.
The Table of Contents is organized by the Sustainability Principles (optimize site design, save energy and water, improve indoor environmental quality,
use green products and systems, and optimize O&M). You will also find a Builder’s Matrix, organized by the stages of a project (land development,
construction waste management, foundations, framing, exterior finishing, HVAC, interior finishing, landscaping, etc.).
The text has been organized to acquaint the reader with basic concepts and provides resources that offer more detailed information. At the end of each
section, you will find “Interactions,” which are references to other sections of the book describing design strategies, systems, components, or materials
that may interact in important ways with the topic of the chapter.
