The affordable housing industry has embraced ?green? building practices in an effort to improve indoor air quality and to reduce the long-term cost of ownership for homeowners. This trend has extended into the residential and commercial building industries as Sustainable Design and Green Building practices have become more popular. The reasons for this increase in popularity are varied and extensive, bringing in aspects of economics, health, design and artistic preferences. Nevertheless, the underlying sentiment indicates that thinking Green is much more than a trend.

Green is the future for many industries, professions and practices. It has even been said that Green is the new Red White and Blue, a symbol of national pride that protects our nation's natural resources and environmental health. But along with this promise, another trend has accompanied the increase in the number of Green Building products entering the marketplace: confusion. Visit the Green2Green website.

Green2Green has been developed in response to the growing demand for green building materials and the difficult process of choosing among so many products and possibilities. Our goal is to help people make fast, easy, informed decisions about green building materials and products. By combining the best of what we currently know with a framework that creates an incentive for green innovation, Green2Green can not only address the needs of the affordable housing industry today but also evolve to include the full future scope of the Green Building industry.

Many new partnerships and friendships with GreenBlue have been formed through the development of Green2Green. The Green2Green Advisory Committee is comprised of professionals from a wide spectrum of experience and prominence. Each brings a specific view to the evaluation and on-going development of Green2Green. Together, we strive to maintain a balance of perspective, addressing the very practical day-to-day decisions an architect, builder or homeowner faces, and the limitless theoretical framework that inspires innovation.
