The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) sponsors a fantastic website chock full of resources for anyone interested in green remodeling or green building. The website is located at www.greenhomeguide.org and it is definitely worth your time for those thinking about a green project. A must read on the site are the REGREEN guidelines which are the result of a collaboration between the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and the USGBC where the website says the program will “increase understanding of sustainable renovation project practices and benefits among homeowners, residents, design professionals, product suppliers and service providers”.

Also useful is a list of green homebuilding programs in the US with website and telephone contact information for homeowners to see if there is a program listed for their community. If your community recently started or has a green building program that is not listed here, ask the administrator of the program to contact the USGBC at the email listed so your local program can be added and recognized by the USGBC.

Finally, there are a number of resources listed such as project profiles, videos, green building links, and an area that lists the incentives, tax credits, and other grants and programs that are available to green building and remodelers everywhere. There is so much information on the internet about green building, this website is a great starting point created by organizations that are intimately familiar with all that is related to the green building movement.
