Are there any building code restrictions on the use of green materials?
Green materials that deal with the obvious health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants (like the walls, floors and beams) need to be code approved just like any other material. That said, most materials are already code approved or do not need code approval, otherwise they would have a very hard time existing very long in the marketplace. If you want to do something very unusual, though, it is always best to check with the Community Development Department (778-4301).
