Santa Monica, California
Santa Monica's Green Building Ordinance went into effect in May 2008 and will apply to all new construction, including single-family homes.
It requires plans to minimize stormwater runoff, install water-conserving irrigation and fixtures, and to increase energy-efficient performance among other benchmarks.
Playbook for Green Buildings and Neighborhoods
The Playbook website provides local governments with guidance and resources to rapidly advance green buildings, neighborhoods and infrastructure. Strategic action in these sectors promotes economic development, builds healthier communities, strengthens energy independence, and supports climate protection.
Green Building: LEED for Neighborhood Development
The LEED for Neighborhood Development Rating System integrates the principles of smart growth, urbanism and green building into the first national system for neighborhood design. LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a development's location and design meet accepted high levels of environmentally responsible, sustainable development.
