Ready to go green? The Green Scoring Tool can help you determine if your project meets the requirements of 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 Green Scoring Tool allows you to explore as much or as little of the supplementary information that you need or want at any step. It also provides continual feedback, informing you at every step where you stand and what you need to do to make your home green.
Green Scoring Tool registration is required, and will allow you to save, edit, review and compare green home projects.
The Green Scoring Tool now allows you to compare your National Green Building Standard project to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy's Builders Challenge. If you decide to participate in National Green Building Certification, you could also receive Builders Challenge certification at no additional cost.
Attention Current Green Scoring Tool Account Holders: The NAHB Green Home Building Guidelines are scheduled to sunset this year. After April 1st, no new Guidelines-based projects can be created in the Green Scoring Tool. Existing Guidelines-based projects will be available until the end of the year.
