Introduced in 1995, Built Green Colorado is one of oldest and largest green home building programs in the nation. A voluntary industry-driven program of the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver offered to builders across the state, the purpose of Built Green Colorado is to encourage home builders to use technologies, products and practices that result in homes that are better built and better for the environment.

Why does the HBA of Metro Denver have a green builder program? Because it is the right thing to do for home buyers, for home builders, for Colorado and for the earth.

There are many benefits to building or buying a Built Green home. Some of the most compelling are:

• Built Green homes are not only good for the environment, they provide many home buyer benefits and result in reduced warranty costs for the builder.
• Better energy efficiency means comfort and savings for the homeowner, less pollution for the earth.
• Healthier indoor air means comfort, health and peace of mind for the family.
• Reduced water usage means savings for the homeowner, less strain on our limited water supplies.
• Preserving natural resources means leaving more for future generations to enjoy.
• Durable, reduced maintenance materials mean a longer life for the home, savings and more leisure time for the homeowner.
