What is the green scoring tool and how does the national certification process work?
The Green Scoring Tool takes builders step-by-step through the design and construction process to select which green features to incorporate into their home plans. Although one doesn’t need to certify a house to use the scoring tool, builders seeking certification can work with an accredited verifier, who confirms that all the specified green features are in place at rough-in and at project completion. Results can then be submitted to the NAHB Research Center, an accredited third-party certification agent. If the project passes review, the Research Center issues a certificate indicating that the house has reached one of the program’s green thresholds.
