Welcome to the Best Practices Research Alliance--a collaboration of builders, developers, and suppliers who are committed to helping the homebuilding industry go green. Because production builders deliver more than one half of all homes in the U.S. each year, they can play a major role in helping green, high-performance homes become an everyday reality. Real change happens when the right people lead the way, the right processes are in place, and when Best Practices® are shared throughout the industry.
Our blueprint for change goes like this:
- Bring together leading builders, developers, and suppliers who are committed to upping the ante and building green homes on a production scale.
- Research and identify technologies and business models that enable builders to deliver safe, healthy, durable, comfortable, efficient and affordable homes that perform better for their owners and the environment.
- Share research findings on a continual basis, creating an online community that engages the industry in the research process.
