Built Green and the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild have been collaborating since Built Green’s inception almost twenty years ago to transform the built environment toward long-term sustainability. That partnership is only improving with time, from the first 5-star Built Green certified home in Seattle to ongoing work on the Code Innovations Database.
