Over the last 9 months of this year, the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC) has been busy building a new "de-coupled green building program" called Minnesota Green Path. This program is much different than most green building programs that require an "all or nothing" approach.
The BATC is also working on a Green Path for Remodeling program to help consumers and remodeling contractors enter and choose a place along the green building path.
In both programs, the tested and certified Green Path homes will receive an easy to understand report tracking and memorializing the HERS index and green attributes that were designed into the project.
