The next installment of the popular Green Vine Lecture Series will be held at the HBA offices on Wednesday, August 4. The event will focus on the significant and newly-finalized changes to the ENERGY STAR program as well as what single and multifamily builders will have to do in order to earn the popular EPA designation starting next year. The incorporation of the upgraded ENERGY STAR program into pending revisions to the Green Built Texas protocols will also be discussed at this time.
It may be some time before ENERGY STAR returns to the 40 percent market penetration it currently enjoys here in Texas. However, for those who reach this level, it will continue to be a mark of market separation for energy efficiency and quality construction.
Nevertheless, all single and multifamily builders should attend this seminar as ENERGY STAR, even in its new form, may remain a mandatory provision of local green building ordinances. For more background information on this issue, visit the EPA’s ENERGY STAR for New Homes website.
