Built Green®, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting green building and education programs in the Puget Sound region, today announced a partnership with the Cascade Water Alliance to offer a new incentive for green building certification, the WaterSense New Homes Incentive Program.
WaterSense is a national program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that promotes water efficiency and enhances the market for water-friendly programs, products, and practices. Cascade Water Alliance is a WaterSense partner, offering rebates under the program. Now, Cascade Water Alliance will be offering an incentive for builders who combine Built Green and WaterSense certifications.
Homes in Cascade Water Alliance's territory that achieve both the WaterSense New Homes requirements and a minimum of Built Green 3-Star certification will be eligible to apply for a $1,000 rebate. Built Green will assist with this process.
"We are very excited about partnering with the Cascade Water Alliance on this program, which provides a meaningful incentive to builders, and will benefit our aquatic habitat and the overall environment," said Aaron Adelstein, Director of Community Stewardship at Master Builders Association.
Residential building professionals interested in learning more about the certification program can attend a WaterSense/Built Green Incentive class from 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 4 at the Master Builders Association.
