NAR Supports Incentives for Green Buildings
In testimony before a House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® reiterated the significance of its green office building. NAR also reinforced its support for energy-efficiency tax credits, block grants, and weatherization assistance investment.
NAR’s office building on Capitol Hill was the first newly constructed, green-certified building in the District of Columbia, demonstrating NAR’s commitment to environmentally sustainable real estate development.
“NAR has taken a number of important steps to raise public awareness about green buildings and their benefits in the marketplace,” said Jim Helsel, NAR treasurer and a REALTOR® from Pennsylvania specializing in commercial real estate. Helsel served as chairman of NAR’s Real Property Operations Committee in 2002-03 that oversaw creation and development of the REALTOR® building that was certified for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and was awarded the Silver LEED rating by the U.S. Green Building Council in 2004 when the building opened.
