• <br /> • go <br /> Staff has reviewed the proposed standard and will propose that Orange County <br /> adopt this standard in 2009 to support the incentive based voluntary green <br /> program for residential construction previously proposed. <br /> Process/timeline <br /> Staff proposes to put forward guidelines for voluntary and educational programs <br /> for at least twelve (12)and possibly eighteen (18) months before considering <br /> mandatory compliance. The National Green Building Standard is being <br /> developed by the National Association of Home Builders and may become part of <br /> the international Building Code in the very near future. As such, Orange County <br /> could adopt them as part of the Building Code we now enforce. <br /> Staff proposes to bring the National Green Building Standard to a Quarterly - <br /> Publiic Hearing after its finalization by the National Association of Home Builders. <br /> The anticipated Quarterly Public Hearing is May 2009. <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br />
