NAHB Green Certification

VandeMusser Design is trained and certified as an NAHB Green Verifier. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has come up with their own green certification. There are three green home certification levels available in the NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines – Bronze, Silver, and Gold. (An additional Emerald level will be available in the National Green Building Standard.)

The green levels and certifications address seven key green construction areas:
• Site
• Resource Efficiency
• Energy Efficiency
• Water Efficiency
• Indoor Environmental Quality
• Homeowner Education
• Global Impact

It also includes an online scoring tool and a wealth of educational tools and resources for home builders and home buyers. Like LEED For Homes, the NAHB Green certification is a nation-wide program that allows builders from all across the country to be judged by a national green standard.
