GreenPoint Rated is the most trusted independent green home certification program in California, providing proof that a home is healthy, comfortable, durable, and resource efficient. More than 31,000 homes have been rated through the program, administered by Build It Green.
For contractors and builders, the GreenPoint Rated label adds value to the services you provide your customers. Add green building expertise to all your business offerings and give homeowners the assurance that their homes are healthier, and both energy and resource efficient.
The GreenPoint Rated label is the mark of quality for green home construction. It is a recognizable, independent seal of approval that verifies a home has been built or remodeled according to proven green standards. Studies show that green labels like GreenPoint Rated can improve property values up to 10% at time of sale.
