Although not billed as such, GE's new Ecomagination Homebuilder Program appears in my mind at least as a potential competitor for LEED when it comes to home construction. It is not a rating system like LEED, instead GE's program combines energy efficient GE appliances and systems, construction techniques to reduce energy and water consumption and the related emissions. The system also sports as a monitoring system in order track energy use and savings.
According to GE the program is "designed to lower overall household energy consumption, resulting emissions and indoor water consumption, the ecomagination Homebuilder Program combines building science technologies with high-performance products to create new homes inspired by ecomagination."
