The New Home Green Building Guidelines are based on the Alameda County New Home Construction Green Building Guidelines, which were first developed in 2000 through a collaborative process and public-private partnership among builders, green building experts, and the staff of StopWaste.org. The Guidelines were updated in 2005 to expand its applicability throughout California, address changes in Title 24, and incorporate measures from other residential green building initiatives.
The Green Residential Environmental Action Team (GREAT), a task force of state agencies including the California Integrated Waste Management Board, California Energy Commission, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, Office of the State Architect, Department of General Services, Department of Water Resources, and California Air Resources Board, provided technical expertise and input in the update of the New Home Guidelines.
The Home Remodeling and Multifamily Green Building Guidelines were developed through a partnership among local developers, architects, contractors, green building experts, and the staff of Green Building in Alameda County.
