3,000 Homes and Counting
More than 3,000 homes in the region are Green Built Homes certified. That’s 3,000 quiet victories in the battle for better building. And with each home, the standard spreads. “In my opinion,” Donald says, “Green Built Alliance is the best example of a private market solution. We don’t rely on government funding. That makes us nimble and consistent. Public programs come and go. We remain.” Even the presence of utilities like Duke Energy, with its HERO program that pays builders directly for high-efficiency practices, shows how far the market has come. “There are rebates many builders don’t even know about,” Jennifer adds. “We make sure they do.” The Call for the Next Builder
