Professional Women in Building (PWB)

HBA of Northern Michigan High-Performance Building Council – formerly the Green Building Council

Green Rating and Green-certified homes are excellent products, unfortunately, the concept of “Green” has been skewed and made it difficult for the public to disseminate and identify the purpose of having a fully Certified Green home. We wish to clarify and offer the clients verifiable improvements in Energy Savings and equally in the Indoor Quality of the Air they breathe. These are the main contributors to the Green Rated programs and certainly concern our clients. This will allow more members to obtain High-Performance Designations by simply verifying the substantial reduction in energy usage per the committee standards and on this will ride the improvement to indoor air quality.
