"The FGBC takes into effect a lot of climate issues," says Paul Nutcher, communication director for the organization’s Central Florida chapter. "The USGBC knows there are some regional issues that need to be addressed." More recently, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) launched its own National Green Building Program at its 2008 International Builders’ Show in Orlando. The NAHB program is designed to be a low-cost administrative and certification system that will help keep green affordable. NAHB’s program would compete with the LEED as a certifying body for residential and commercial buildings.
