Many builders talk about building green, but only a true Green Built Certified home can display the Green Built Seal of Quality. It’s a sign that the builder has been trained on stringent national green building standards and that the home will be inspected by an independent third party. To be certified, a home must receive a passing score in seven different categories.
- Lot design, preparation and development
- Resource efficiency
- Energy efficiency
- Water efficiency
- Indoor environmental air quality
- Operation, maintenance and homeowner education
- Global impact
