There are three main green building certification programs in Western North Carolina that can qualify your custom built home as
a "Green Certified Home":
*Energy Star Qualified New Home Construction...To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These homes are at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC), and include additional energy-saving features that typically make them 20–30% more efficient than standard homes.
*NC Healthy Built Homes...a voluntary, statewide green building certification program in North Carolina...The NC HealthyBuilt Homes (HBH) Program encompass all aspects of environmental design and green construction iniatiatives.
*LEED Certified...an internationally recognized green building certification system used in North Carolina...LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally-recognized green building certification system. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
These "Green Building" certification programs share a basic common goal of energy efficiency, healthy air quality and sustainable construction practices.
