California launches green-building Web site

Feb. 9 — California has launched its own Web site to encourage green building practices and environmentally friendly purchasing practices.

The Green California Web site contains ideas, guidelines, reference materials, engineering data and environmentally friendly purchasing information for state and local government agencies and California businesses. The site’s information assists agencies and businesses in adopting practices to encourage environmental sustainability, energy conservation and landfill waste reduction.

“California is blessed with vast resources…we rededicate ourselves to making California cleaner, greener and more prosperous. The green building approach builds in conservation from the ground up…It’s good for business and it’s great for the environment.” -Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Green California site also provides reference materials for the design, construction, benchmarking and operation of green buildings.
