Code and Standards

The first step in building green is to set clear goals that fit within the scope of City of Eugene standards. The most effective green building strategies are designed in concert to achieve multiple objectives. This means taking an integrated, systems approach to ensure that the components and systems of a building work together to meet your goals.

  • Architecture
  • Heating and cooling
  • Interior design
  • Landscape design
  • Lighting and electrical
