A Huntington Beach developer today is hosting a celebration today for his “green living home,” shooting for certification under both the statewide Build It Green program and the internationally known Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program under the U.S. Green Building Council.
So, what’s the difference between Build It Green and LEED?A matter of degree, mainly, says Christopher Becker, a project manager with the Build It Green’s GreenPoint Rated division.
“Our thresholds are lower,” Becker said. “It pushes poeple, but it’s not as difficult as the LEED certification is.”
