This book was released on 2013 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of building design is green construction. In fact, the shift toward incorporating green practices into everyday construction is already underway. As a result, there is no better way to prepare for the future than with the NATIONAL GREEN BUILDING STANDARD(tm) (ICC 700-2012) the result of a joint effort between the International Code Council (ICC) and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The standard outlines effective, relevant green practices, including lot design; preparation and development; resource, energy, and water efficiency; indoor environmental quality; and operation, maintenance, and building owner education. Its goal is to give you the means to achieve your sustainability goals, whether they are designing a basic, entry-level green building or aiming for the highest level sustainable "green" building with energy savings of 65 percent or higher. It accomplishes this by defining four threshold levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Emerald. The end result is a valuable tool that will help you put "green" methodology into practice in a variety of areas, from new homes to high-rise multifamily buildings, and from remodels and additions to hotels and motels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ICC 700-2020 National Green Building Standard® (NGBS) is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) --approved, residential building standard. This fourth edition was developed by an independent consensus committee of a broad range of stakeholders in partnership between the International Code Council and the National Association of Home Builders. The NGBS outlines a variety of green design and construction practices that can be incorporated into your single-family, multifamily, and mixed-use buildings, either for new construction or remodeling. The NGBS also includes green practices for land development projects as well as assisted living facilities, residential board, and care facilities, and group homes. The NGBS includes high-performance building practices in six areas: Lot Design and Development, Resource Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Building Operation & Maintenance. The NGBS has four primary certification levels--Bronze, Silver, Gold and Emerald, providing residential building professionals options to integrate sustainability and high-performance into their project at a level most appropriate for their business model, customer base and local housing market. A new compliance path (Certified) customized for single-family and townhome dwellings is added in the 2020 Edition. The NGBS also offers a compliance path for residential and mixed-use communities with four levels of land development practices, ranging from One-Star through Four-Star. The 2020 edition expands the application of innovative practices, offers additional options towards achieving certification, and builds upon a decade strong foundation of program use. The NGBS continues to provide architects, builders, and developers the flexibility needed to design and construct homes and mixed-use buildings that are sustainable, cost-effective and appropriate for a home's geographic location.

Among the areas updated are the following: The Energy Efficiency Chapter has been substantially revised with the new more stringent rating levels based on whole-house energy savings above the 2009 International Energy Efficiency Code. The remodeling provisions have been incorporated into two new stand-alone chapters and include options for rating an entire remodeled building or achieving minimum compliance for a remodeled functional area such as a kitchen, bathroom, basement or addition. The point assignments for Water Efficiency practices have been reanalyzed to achieve an improved internal consistency with regard to actual water savings. The durability provisions have been reorganized, expanded and compiled into a single section as part of the Resource Efficiency Chapter
Download or read book Comparison of the National Green Building Standard ICC 700 2008 and LEED for Homes to the Residential Provisions of the 2009 IECC for the Delaware Green for Green Program written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adhering to Delaware's Green for Green program specifications results in homes being built to more energy-efficient levels than the 2009 IECC levels. Specifically: - Certifying at the Silver Performance Level for the ICC 700 standard using either the Prescriptive or Performance Paths will result in a residential building that is more efficient than if the building only complied with the 2009 IECC. - Certifying at the Silver level under LEED for Homes standard, including mandatory compliance with ENERGY STAR 2006 and earning two additional energy points will result in a residential building that is more efficient than if the building only complied with the 2009 IECC.
Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Housing Second Edition written by Andrew T. Carswell and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 1308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication of the groundbreaking Encyclopedia of Housing in 1998, many issues have assumed special prominence within this field and, indeed, within the global economy. For instance, the global economic meltdown was spurred in large part by the worst subprime mortgage crisis we′ve seen in our history. On a more positive note, the sustainability movement and "green" development has picked up considerable steam and, given the priorities and initiatives of the current U.S. administration, this will only grow in importance, and increased attention has been given in recent years to the topic of indoor air quality. Within the past decade, as well, the Baby Boom Generation began its march into retirement and senior citizenship, which will have increasingly broad implications for retirement communities and housing, assisted living facilities, aging in place, livable communities, universal design, and the like. Finally, within the last twelve years an emerging generation of young scholars has been making significant contributions to the field. For all these reasons and more, we are pleased to present a significantly updated and expanded Second Edition of the Encyclopedia of Housing.

Book excerpt: Green construction and environmentally sound building is more important today than ever before, and it's something everyone in or entering the construction industry should be able to understand and apply. As a result, the ICC 700-2008 National Green Building Standard (NGBS) and the referenced code sections in the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) are two codes that are gaining in relevance, making the 2009 GREEN RESIDENTIAL BUILDING STUDY COMPANION more valuable than ever before. The focus of this handy guide is the ICC 700-2008 NGBS, the first national consensus-based and ANSI-approved standard that establishes minimum criteria and definitions for the design and construction of green residential buildings, sites, subdivisions, and renovations. Designed to provide the flexibility that allows the creation of innovative approaches and techniques, the standard never loses sight of critical safety, health, and environmental requirements set forth by other applicable laws, ordinances, or codes. With this safety-first yet environmentally-savvy mindset, the study guide examines select topics of this standard, offering readers the text of the standard itself, alongside insightful, application-based commentary and detailed illustrations.
