What is Petaluma Build It Green?
Petaluma Build It Green is a voluntary, points-based program designed to stimulate and support green building in Petaluma. The program is designed around the Green Building Guidelines developed by Alameda County Waste Management Authority and Build It Green for New Homes, Remodels and Multi-family Construction, which offer suggestions for conserving natural resources, using water and energy wisely, improving indoor air quality, and planning for livable and vibrant communities. Building with these measures helps to create healthy, durable homes that reduce environmental impacts and cost less to operate and maintain.
Green building measures that are incorporated into a building project can earn “Green Points.” These Green Points are calculated and documented by independent, third-party Green Points Raters, who submit an application for Green Points Rating to the Petaluma Build It Green program (at the City’s Permit Counter), on behalf of the building owner/developer.
Buildings that achieve at least 50 Green Points (with a minimum number of Green Points earned in various categories), will be eligible to become GreenPoint Rated.
