Dan Geiger Recommends: USGBC’s Green Building Policy Database

 

Ah,  the wisdom of crowds!

If you follow the author who made this phrase famous, then you know that having a large group of people solving a problem is better than an elite few (his words).

And that thinking has definitely propelled lots of solutions in  the green building sector.

So, with that, let me thank Green Journey reader Dan Geiger, Executive Director of the USGBC Chapter here in Northern California for contributing a helpful reminder for all those who, like my friend in the previous post are in the process of drafting green building policies.

Dan reminded me that the USGBC maintains a searchable database of public policies — including green building ordinances. Check it out. It’s awsome.

Not quite the download template, copy, paste action that my friend was hoping for, but it would definitely advance your municipality’s climate change mission way beyond what you could accomplish just doing it yourself from scratch.
