Big Green: Sustainability Legislation

[Ralph Bicknese]

Tom:

 

The current list on the USGBC website is the best I know of.  It was updated
August 3, 06 - pretty fresh!

 

Cheers,

Ralph

Subject: Big Green: Sustainability Legislation

 

I am attempting to summarize several different approaches to legislating
sustainable design principles into new construction projects, and I am
trying to find a list of current jurisdictions that have implemented
sustainable design legislation.  The list on the USGBC website appears to be
somewhat dated at this time.

 

Does anyone know if a summary exists?  I've broken down legislation into
three primary types:  Legislative Fiat (Thou shalt be LEED Silver),
Voluntary Adoption (We encourage you to pursue sustainable design), and
Incentive Programs (Tax credits, expedited review, etc.) 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
