Vermont Builds Greener Program

http://www.bsr-vt.org/vbg/

The Vermont Builds Greener (VBG) Program, an initiative of Building for Social Responsibility (BSR), certifies residential buildings that are constructed to sustainable criteria. The criteria, or Scorecard, was created and supported by regional experts. The focus of the program is to promote the construction of homes that are healthy, durable and have reduced impact on the immediate environment and the global resources that support our built environment. This initial program is for new residential construction. VBG is a model for other residential sustainable-certified programs in the Northeast.
