This guide can help you start a green builder program in your municipality or region. It surveys six green building programs – Austin, Metro Denver, Central New Mexico, Kitsap County and Clark County in Washington, and Suburban Maryland – comparing and analyzing each to determine the most effective requirements and incentives, as well as nitty gritty details like organizational structure and advertising budgets. It lays out the steps needed to create a program and includes a “Green Builder Program Template.” Download it (click on “Builder Programs”) or order it on CD-ROM or hard copy.
If you are looking for sample contract documents and specification language for green building products, check out Ross Spiegel and Dru Meadow’s book, Green Building Materials: A Guide to Product Selection & Specification (1999: James Wiley & Sons). If it is the products themselves you are interested in, you will find an edited list of 1200 green building products in GreenSpec, produced by Environmental Building News. Listings include product descriptions, environmental characteristics, and contact information. http://www.ebuild.com
