California Green Builder (CGB) was created by the Building Industry Association as a voluntary code for residential construction that goes 15% above Title 24. Along with many other green building measures, CGB homes must meet strict energy and water efficiency standards that are verified by third-party inspectors. Thus far, home built to CGB standards (1,054 in total) have saved 550,000 kWh of electricity and 25 million gallons of water annually. By going above and beyond current government standards, the Building Industry Association is raising the bar for residential energy efficiency.
