In 2008, the ICC – 700 National Green Building Standard (NGBS) earned ANSI approval as the first green rating system for residentially-used buildings. NGBS Green offered the industry a flexible, rigorous, and affordable path to third-party green certification, and within a short period of time, architects, developers, owners, agencies, and financial institutions catapulted the NGBS to be the leading national residential green certification program. ANSI recently approved the 2020 NGBS, the fourth version to date, with an expanded scope that applies to mixed-use buildings, assisted living facilities, hotels, dormitories, lodging houses, and even monasteries. The 2020 NGBS includes a certification path for the commercial space of mixed-use buildings; greater flexibility for existing buildings being renovated or converted; a new performance path for water efficiency; and new practices designed to promote resiliency, universal design, wellness.
This webinar will help Green Circle certified product manufacturers learn more about the NGBS development, requirements, and key products that contribute toward compliance. Home Innovation staff will highlight NGBS practices where Green Circle product certifications and product declarations contribute toward compliance.
This is a close/private event, but if you’re interested in having a member of Home Innovation’s NGBS Green Team provide a presentation to your group, please contact us.
