Green Built Home is a national award winning green building initiative that
reviews and certifies new homes and remodeling projects that meet sustainable
building and energy standards. The program is implemented in partnership with
the Madison Area Builders Association in cooperation with other participating
builders associations, leading utilities and organizations that promote green
building. GBH, affiliated with the NAHB National Green Building Program, is also
available as a co-branded home certification.
Process Begins:
Once a builder has determined they wish to have a home Green Built
Home (GBH) certified, they must do three things: 1) hire a Verifier, 2) send
the completed checklist, the location of the home and the required
payment to GBH and 3) provides copies of items listed below under
"Builder/Representative Provides to Verifier". IMPORTANT: 1) This must
be done prior to ground breaking. 2) The complete "Pts Clm'd by Builder"
report is part of the required documentation which needs to be submitted
with the Verifies final checklist and notes in order to received GBH's
certification
