What is your state’s IGL region?

Classification methods for sustainable real estate are separated according to geographic region and climate. Buildings are constructed according to weather tolerances and resource availability. Therefore, we use this aspect as primary and, secondarily, the need for an efficient number of regions for workflows. NAR (National Assn. of Realtors) has thirteen for their statistical and market reporting purposes, and we are using nine to better reflect sustainability and climate.
