Phoenix adopts Green code
The city of Phoenix is using a new green construction code, making it one of the first cities in the U.S. to implement such a code.
The voluntary codes took effect July 1 and have a number of different innovations from using vegetation in order to mitigate urban heat island effects to green roofs and energy-saving features.
In addition, there is a 15 percent mandatory reduction in energy use, 20 percent reduction in indoor water use and 35 percent reduction in construction waste.
City officials said the move to a green code was done to give builders something to focus on without third-party programs.
Builders have cited a desire to construct more sustainable projects without costs associated with applying for various certifications.
