Green Building Committee

The Green Building Committee usually meets the second Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m. at the GHBA office.

The GHBA Green Building Initiative (GBI) is a voluntary green building program available to all GHBA builders.  The program serves the greater Houston area by promoting healthy, energy and water efficient homes that reduce utility costs and use recycled, renewable and/or reclaimed materials that protect the environment.

In 2008, the Green Building Initiative had more than 40 participating builders that constructed approximately 8,000 green homes compliant with the program guidelines.  GHBA continues to participate in the green building movement, evident by the increasing number of GBI builder members and homes built to the GHBA GBI guidelines throughout the years.  Education and marketing are essential to the program’s success.  The Committee focuses its efforts not only on builders and salespeople, but also realtors, and most importantly consumers, so they may learn and understand the benefits of owning a green home.  Please click on the GBI logo above to be directed to the GBI website.
