BID-896 — Green Bldg & Incentive Program
In recent years, several national green building rating systems have emerged dominantly in the market. These will be covered in general but there are also a myriad of local and federal programs related to creating energy efficient buildings referenced by these new rating systems. In order to help deliver a project cost effectively, it is imperative to know these programs and how they work to be a resource to potential clients and bring added value to the table. Often, rebates and incentives can offset any additional real or perceived first cost of green building. o Market Transformation - ENERGY STAR o Federal, State, City, Municipal Programs o Non-Government Organizations - NAHB, ASHRAE, Enterprise Foundation, IGCC, Architecture 2030 o NJ programs - NJSCC, DCA (Green Homes), BPU, DEP, NJHEPS (Master Spec), Sustainable Jersey o National Programs - USGBC LEED, Green Globes, The Living Building Challenge
