What is the Arlington Green Home Choice certification program? Can I qualify for certification with a remodeling project?
The Arlington Green Home Choice program has been developed to create a set of standards and guidelines for homeowners and contractors interested in having their project certified’ as Green. At the core of the program is a score sheet which assigns point values for a number of green building options, property features and products that might apply to any given project. Earning a certain point total based on the score sheet and features your project includes, earns a Green Home Choice certification. Although the Arlington Green Home Choice program was originally created for new home construction, your remodeling project can be certified too, meeting a lot of the same criteria. If having your project certified is of interest to you, you should definitely work with a contractor who is familiar with the program and who has successfully completed projects for certification, as there are some additional administrative steps that must be taken to insure compliance with the program.
