| Oakland’s First Residential Green Building Legislation |

Build It Green, Alameda County-based organization dedicated to the promotion of green building and green building materials, is one proposed tools that the City of Oakland would use under the new ordinance. The GreenPoint Rated system would act as a measure for new home developments to ensure they meet the requirements for green construction. “At a time when rising gas prices and concerns about global warming are pushing consumers to change their behavior, building green makes good business sense,” said Perkins. “Ensuring we have clear, flexible and consistent green building standards like Build It Green’s GreenPoint Rated system will enable the home building industry to continue producing green homes that are affordable for Oakland’s working families.”.
