What does the Environments For Living® program offer your business?

Increased Marketability and a Competitive Edge.
Green sells homes. But it has to be real, because the public is savvy enough to sort through what's real and what's not. The Environments For Living program is the only turnkey national program of its kind that assists builders in constructing homes that are more energy efficient, more comfortable, and more durable than conventional code-built homes. The reason it sells homes is that it gives builders credibility they wouldn't otherwise have. The Environments For Living Certified Green program has measurable performance metrics, and the limited guarantees* on comfort and energy sends the message to prospective buyers that the home will perform to the expectations of the program, a unique benefit that no other national green building program offers.

Flexibility and Choice.
Because the Environments For Living program is performance and not product-based, any product, system, or strategy may be used as long as it meets Environments For Living program requirements, allowing builders maximum flexibility.

Support for You and Your Business.
Environments For Living program is not a points-based checklist program. It is a turnkey, prescriptive program that provides builders with a complete solution for high-performance building, including plan review, field-testing, training certification, and powerful marketing tools.
