I have not seen any incentives for environmentally friendly construction, but you did inquire about meeting the requirements of the USBC.
Per 106.3 of the USBC and specifically 106.3.2:
Compliance with the provisions of a nationally recognized performance code when approved as a modification shall be considered to constitute compliance with this code. All documents submitted as part of such consideration shall be retained in the permanent records of the local building department.
Have you considered the 2015 International Green Construction Code; it may be worth looking at.
