Why Build Green?
The Benefits of an EarthCraft Certification
Among the many benefits of certification are: third‐party evaluation and technical guidance, an expedited documentation process (less paperwork and more in‐field documentation), full project administration from registration until final certification, and better overall building performance, including:
- An integrated systems approach
- Environmentally conscious design and construction applications
- Efficient use of natural resources: water, energy and building materials
- Utility cost savings
- Improved indoor air quality and a comfortable working environment
- Tighter building envelope and ductwork (as confirmed through on‐site inspections and performance testing)
