WASHINGTON - The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has announced that it is leading an industry-driven effort to develop more resource-efficient, environmentally sensitive, and cost-effective homes. At the National Green Building Conference, in Austin, Texas, March 14-16, NAHB and other building industry experts will be advancing "greener" home building ideas and initiatives for all mainstream builders.
"An increasing number of home buyers are demanding that environmental issues become a top priority in new construction and remodeling efforts," stated Ray Tonjes, NAHB Green Building Subcommittee chair. "Reacting to this demand, this conference will demonstrate that green building has true market value to the potential home buyers."
