Yes, the article does read like an advertisement. There should be a comparison with LEED. NAHBGreen was started after the LEED program was up and running, and many builders use it instead of LEED. While a LEED inspection would cost thousands of dollars, the NAHBGreen inspection process is (or was when I was building a few years ago)in the range of $500. And it is significantly less work for the builder and the inspector. LEED and NAHBGreen are competitors. I think it is important to know why NAHB came up with their own program. Who uses it vs who uses LEED? Is NAHB gaining or loosing market share.

From a builders point of view, LEED, is more academic, involving input from many perspectives imposing restrictions on bulders, while NAHBGreen is more of a support system for builders who want to sell to the green market. Frankly if you get a high rating on the NAHB Green its a very energy efficient and non-toxic home, so for the consumers its probably all they really need. But for a seven-generations sustainability point of view, the LEED program is much more thought through. Though its complexity and cost is probably not sustatinable!

As a builder I am on a lot of email lists for builder news, and for every article that mentions NAHBGreen, there are a dozen that mention LEED. That leads me to suspect that NAHBGreen has lost the battle to be a LEED alternative, but that its usefulness as a marketing tool is still moving along in the residential market.
