State and Local Green Building Toolkit Launches at SLGA Conference in Austin
Green building legislation has cropped up on political agendas at all levels of government across the country. In response to these proposed mandates, NAHB will be unveiling a new toolkit publication, NAHB’s Green Building Legislative Responses: Find the Right Shade of Green for Your Community at this year’s State and Local Government Affairs Conference in Austin, Texas.
 Whether your HBA is positioning itself ahead of this trend by starting a voluntary green building program or already facing onerous green building legislation, this toolkit provides useful information and generalized strategy to aid in developing your HBA’s opposition to residential green building mandates.
The toolkit serves as a primer on green building and the tools and resources available through NAHB. It also contains talking points to help frame the issue for local policymakers, an action strategy plan for your campaign and legislative responses.
In addition to providing guidance on organizing your HBA’s response to proposed green building mandates, this resource will help you to raise awareness about the issue amoung your membership. Builder and industry support are essential to successfully influence regulatory or legislative process.
