REGREEN Guidelines for Green Home Remodeling Projects Now Available Online
The U.S. Green Buildings Council and the American Society of Interior Designers Foundation on March 14 launched REGREEN, the nation’s first set of resources and tools specifically for green home remodeling projects, at the ASID Interiors08 Conference on Design in New Orleans. The free guidelines cover all aspects of renovations, from installing a new dishwasher and remodeling your master bathroom to refurbishing an entire home interior. Although it is not a LEED®-branded rating system with certification thresholds and recognition levels, REGREEN, like LEED, addresses the major elements of any green renovation project: building site, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, material and resources, and indoor environmental quality. For more information, visit the REGREEN for Professionals Web site.
