National Green Building Standard (NGBS)

The National Green Building Standard (NGBS) is a certification system that encourages and recognizes environmentally responsible building practices. It sets guidelines for energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and sustainable materials in residential constructions. Homes and buildings that meet these standards earn certification, demonstrating they are healthier, more resource-efficient, and environmentally friendly. The NGBS helps homeowners, builders, and developers make informed choices that reduce environmental impact while improving home performance and durability. It’s a comprehensive framework that promotes sustainable living through practical, cost-effective building strategies.
