Southwest Montana BIA--Green Build

Order now! A collaborative effort between the ICC and NAHB, the Standard recently approved by ANSI provides the “green” practices that can be incorporated into new homes. The approval signals a new era for builders, remodelers and developers and also provides an extra measure of reassurance for home buyers. The National Green Building Standard is now the first and only ANSI-approved green building rating system, making it the benchmark for green homes. Order your copy today.

Green Building Initiative: Green Building Training
In conjunction with the GBI we have set up a training page for the Montana Green Building Program. The site contains over sixty videos with over thirty hours demonstrating Green Building Best Practices based on the NAHB Green Building Guidelines. It also has a Learning management System (LMS) that allow each user to follow hi or her own progress. This is a great addition to existing member benefits, and a great opportunity to help each local energize their green build programs. All you have to do is put the URL up on your website and start directing your members to it. It is a great resource and we are grateful to the GBI for their help and support in setting it up.

The website address is: www.greenbuildertraining.org/mt

The registration code is GREENMT

Once a user enters the site, all they need to do is click on “register for an account”, use the code and they will have access.
