    LEED® for Homes

    LEED® is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources with sensitivity to their impacts.

    The LEED® for Homes program was specifically created for the certification of homes and consists of eight categories: Innovation & Design, Location & Linkages, Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality and Awareness & Education.

    Here’s more info from the LEED for Homes website at http://www.usgbc.org/articles/getting-know-leed-homes-design-and-construction:

    LEED for Homes is the right fit for residential projects.

    • Savings: A LEED home is designed to save energy and water, which can translate into money savings and can even lower your insurance rates.
      LEED: A Pre-Occupancy Case Study” provided by the Alliance for Environmental Sustainability
      Farmers Insurance Goes 'Green' for Homeowners” by Cristofer P. Pereyra, "The Insurance Expert"

       
    • Health: A LEED home is been built to consider a healthy environment for families.
       
    • Value: Data has shown that green and efficient buildings often sell for more, and in less time, than non-green buildings.
      American Dream Homes Turn Green.” Yahoo! Real Estate, December 2011
      In a down market, does having a green home make "cents"? .” GreenBuilder Magazine, September 2011

       
    • Trusted: The third-party inspection and testing provides an assurance that the home should meet the sustainable requirements of LEED for Homes.

    LEED for Homes promotes the design and construction of high-performance homes – energy efficient, resource efficient, and healthy for occupants. A home that achieves LEED certification has been designed to maximize fresh air indoors, minimizing exposure to airborne toxins and pollutants. It also has the potential to use 20-30% less energy—and some up to 60% less—than a home built to code. And less energy use means lower utility bills every month. In many cases, with a certified green appraiser, lower cost of home ownership can translate into better financing options.

    LEED certification recognizes and celebrates leadership in green homebuilding, and allows a builder to clearly differentiate their work. For the homebuyer, LEED is like the nutrition label that demonstrates in measurable terms that a home incorporates efficient techniques and features, and that the final product has been third party-verified and performance tested.

    Builders interested in pursuing LEED for Homes certification begin the process by contacting a LEED for Homes Green Rater. Green Raters are local experts who conduct the on-site project verification services required for certification and performance testing.
