This manual, Understanding the Florida Green Building Coalition Green Home Standard: A Manual for Builders and their Customers, contains information taken directly from the FGBC Spreadsheet and Reference Guide, but excludes data that may be too technical for the nonprofessional.
This manual was developed for two reasons. First, it will allow builders to better discuss the options for green building certification in the FGBC Green Home Standard Program with their customers. This will allow builders and homebuyers to consider which options will allow them to achieve the level of environmental efficiency that they desire while still staying within their budget.
Second, the manual contains additional information and a list of resources that allow it to act as a source of educational materials for the homeowner.
Future additions will be created as the FGBC Standards evolve....More >< Less
