GreenPoint Rated New Home

GreenPoint Rated New Home is a recognizable and independent seal of approval for green homes that allows them to stand out from the crowd. It reassures home buyers that a home has been 3rd party verified to meet the unique array of green practices chosen by the builder or owner from the GreenPoint Rated checklist. By the builder implementing these green practices, a home is designed to offer improvements
in indoor air quality, energy and water efficiency, and resource
conservation.

If the home meets minimum point requirements in each category and scores at least 50 points on either the Single Family or Multifamily GreenPoint Rated Checklist, as verified by a Certified GreenPoint Rater, it earns the right to bear the GreenPoint Rated label. The GreenPoint Rated label also provides a numerical score which allows buyers to evaluate and compare the environmental performance of different homes. Because GreenPoint Rated homes are evaluated by independent third party raters, building professionals and homeowners can feel confident that the rating has integrity and value. Additionally GreenPoint Rated offers a mechanism for Local Governments to  incorporate green building into their ordinances.
