Green Star Rating

[j_m]

Hi All,

How is the green star rating of a building is calculated, and what criterea must be met when designing and constructing the buildings with these requirements?

Not sure....but are you referring to the U.S. ratings, or the system used by the green buildings council in Australia?

Hello-

I want to introduce myself, and hopefully help answer questions that anyone may have on building a new LEED compliant home. We are a company called Aeonion Brick Homes. And we build the only hurricane/tornado-proof (winds up-to 240 mph),waterproof, fireproof, mold & mildew proof, termite & insect proof, soundproof house in the U.S. We manufacture the only waterproof, interlocking brick.

Our brick should provide the builder with 13.9 points toward the minimum of 26 required to be called a "green" home. If you have questions, ask away.

Thanks-
-Tom Mitchell, VP

Does anyone have any information about how using bamboo construction affects your "green star" energy rating? Bamboo construction is a highly renewable resource. I think we will be seeing it used more and more in mainstream construction.
