What are Green Code Provisions?
Green code provisions for 2012 focus on long-term green priorities such as water conservation, material conservation, sustainable transportation and healthy landscapes. Some examples include promoting salvage instead of recycling, tightening up water irrigation and using more efficient hardware for buildings.
These provisions were formed from programs including Built Green, LEED, and the Living Building Challenge, which have driven the building industry toward long-term green priorities.
