Green building practices go beyond energy and water conservation to incorporate environmentally sensitive site planning, resource efficient building materials and superior indoor environmental quality.
Built Green™ Santa Barbara provides builders, contractors, architects with a unique opportunity to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly construction. It is a voluntary program encouraging builders and consumers to incorporate environmentally friendly practices in their projects.

Projects are qualified using the checklist of environmentally friendly actions: Site Protection, Water Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Health & Air Quality, Materials Efficiency, Environmentally Responsible Home/Property Ownership.
The program is a voluntary self-certification building process designed to create market distinction for builders who incorporate green building practices in their projects.
