An entry-level green building program called ecoSelect is proving to be a straightforward resource for builders who want to construct sustainable homes. The program aims to provide builders with an entry point to green building standards, and to help fill in the gap between building/energy code requirements and more complex green building programs. Officially launched in 2013, ecoSelect has over 1,000 certifications.
