Acknowledging the importance of environmental stewardship in the built environment, the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (HBA) has created a Green Building Council, which will hold its first meeting on Sept. 24 in conjunction with the HBA’s Fall General Membership Meeting. The group will serve as a forum for discussion and as a resource for education and information. “Our goal is to take the lead on issues such as the promotion of certified green building and mastering the art of best practices,” says Green Building Council Chair Lawson Calhoun, owner of Calhoun Properties. “We plan to boost knowledge and awareness within the homebuilding, home buying and home selling communities then leverage those into action.” The council will promote practices and standards with proven environmental benefits and will help make the business case for greener home building.
