Publication Date:
Thursday, July 1, 2010
Summary:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 released the Sustainable Design and Green Building Toolkit for Local Governments (Toolkit) in July 2010.
The Toolkit is designed to assist local governments in identifying and removing permitting barriers to sustainable design and green building practices. It provides a resource for communities interested in conducting their own internal evaluation of how local codes/ordinances either facilitate or impede a sustainable built environment, including the design, construction, renovation, and operation and maintenance of a building and its immediate site.
