USGBC Invites Comments for REGREEN

Washington, DC, November 15, 2007--USGBC is seeking public comment on the draft REGREEN Residential Remodeling Guidelines. The public comment period runs through Monday, December 10.

Comments will be posted anonymously with USGBC responses at www.regreenprogram.org.

REGREEN was developed through a partnership between the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) Foundation and USGBC. REGREEN will help homeowners, residents, design professionals, product suppliers and service providers understand sustainable renovation practices and benefits, with the aim of building both demand and industry capacity.

REGREEN will complement the release of LEED for Homes, but is not itself a LEED-branded rating system with certification thresholds and recognition levels. It is a guideline with educational resources for performance-based objectives for sustainable residential improvement projects.
