FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii - Families new to the Simpson Wisser neighborhood, here, participate in an extensive resident orientation that showcases the sustainable features of their homes and community. Residents also learned what roles and responsibilities they have as a member of the community. The neighborhood is part of the U.S. Green Building Council's nationwide pilot intended to establish a green-building rating system in neighborhood developments where none currently exist.
