GreenPoint Raters: Making Sure It’s Genuinely Green
GreenPoint Rated features independent verification of a home's green building features and benefits, coupled with outstanding consumer education tied to the program brand and logo. At the heart of the program are Certified GreenPoint Raters - the people who evaluate each home to ensure it meets the program's standards for high performance.
Get Certified and Grow Your Business
If you are a HERS rater, home inspector, builder, architect, or other qualified building professional, establish yourself as an independent Certified GreenPoint Rater whom builders and homeowners rely on to evaluate home quality and performance claims. Green building is a rapidly expanding market niche, and now is the time to get in on the ground floor.
Build It Green promotes raters via the Certified GreenPoint Rater Directory. California builders turn to this online directory to locate professionals qualified to rate their new home construction projects.
Becoming a Certified GreenPoint Rater
Individuals seeking certification first attend a rigorous training course based on the GreenPoint Rated - New Home system. Participants learn about green building, the intent behind each green measure, detailed verification protocols, and the policies and interactive process for participating in the GreenPoint Rated - New Home program. Participants then take a written exam and field test. Graduates are eligible to market themselves as GreenPoint Raters and assist builders in earning the GreenPoint Rated designation for their projects.
Once certified you will be granted access to rater tools, templates, rating manuals, and program handbooks. We are now also proud to offer the GreenPoint Rater – Existing Home Training, which builds on the New Home training.
