The Green Building Council serves to provide education and information on green building to HBA members. The council will provide quarterly seminars and do other types of training each year. The council will also host social events from time to time so members can network and have fun as they grow their green businesses. 

On July 1, 2011, the HBA formally stopped doing new green home verifications at the local level and endorsed the NAHB Research Center’s National Green Building Certification Program as the best green certification option available to members. National Green Building Certification to the National Green Building Standard is a credible, flexible, and affordable option for all types of residential construction projects.
