A – Yes, Built GreenTM awards 8 points to a builder who installs a Solar Hot Water system. By just installing a Solar Hot Water system your building can get 11% of the way to a bronze status, move from bronze (75 pts) to silver (80 pts) or silver to gold (85 pts). The only other items with an equivalent points value (8 pts) are a Ground/Air/Water source heat pump and Solar PV (solar generated electricity). A typical Solar Hot Water system’s install cost can be 38% lower compared to the other options.
