Ready to go green? Register or sign in to determine how your project would rate using the NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines or the ICC 700-2008 National Green Building Standard.
Consumers can develop ideas to discuss with their builders or remodelers. Builders or remodelers can develop green home designs to discuss with their trades or customers, and if they are intending to get the homes certified, they can develop their designs to hand off to their verifiers. The tool allows you to explore as much or as little of the supplementary information that you need or want at any step. The tool also provides continual feedback, informing you at every step where you stand and what you need to do to make your home green.
You must register to use the interactive scoring tool. Registering will allow you to save, edit, review and track green home projects. You may work on one or several green scoring projects with the scoring tool, which provides the unique opportunity to compare building options.
Thinking of certifying your single-family new construction project to the National Green Building Standard™? You might also qualify for Department of Energy's Builders Challenge.
The Green Scoring Tool now allows you to compare your project to the requirements of the Builders Challenge. If you decide to participate in National Green Builder Certification, you could also receive Builders Challenge certification at no additional cost.
