This book from Global Green USA serves as a guide for housing developers, advocates, public agency staff, and the financial community that offers specific guidance on incorporating green building strategies into the design, construction, and operation of affordable housing developments.

A completely revised and expanded second edition of the groundbreaking 1999 publication, this new book focuses on topics of specific relevance to affordable housing including:
  • how green building adds value to affordable housing
  • the integrated design process
  • best practices in green design for affordable housing
  • green operations and maintenance
  • innovative funding and finance
  • emerging programs, partnerships, and policies
The book presents 12 case studies of model developments and projects, including rental, home ownership, special needs, senior, self-help, and co-housing from around the United States. Each case study describes the unique green features of the development, discusses how they were successfully incorporated, considers the project's financing and savings associated with the green measures, and outlines lessons learned.
