Green Building is a whole systems approach to construction and building operations that minimizes the large impact that our built environment has on our environment. Green building also provides many benefits to the homeowner including long term value, reduced energy and water use, reduced maintenance, and a more comfortable and healthy indoor environment.

Marin County's Green Building Coordinator, Omar Peña, is available to provide green building technical assistance on any building project in Marin. For more information, he can be reached at opena@co.marin.ca.us or (415) 507-2797.
