Why build a LEED Home with Everyday Green?

1. Third-party verification ensures your house is operating the way it was designed. Installers send their best work crews to pass LEED Homes diagnostic testing. If systems don’t meet the criteria, we’ll advise installers on how to fix problems up front while they’re still on-site.
2. LEED for Homes certification shows you mean green, and your home is backed by one of the premier green building rating systems in the country. It is a nationally recognized standard developed with a consensus-based process including leaders in the residential green home building field.

3. Lower energy bills, guaranteed. LEED requires that all houses also meet ENERGY STAR guidelines, which means they are at least 15% more energy efficient than code. Many Everyday Green LEED homes are 40% or more energy efficient than comparable non-LEED homes using our recommendations for insulation levels, efficient equipment and design considerations.

4. A healthier home. A home that is well insulated and air sealed reduces opportunities for toxins to enter the home. All LEED Homes must meet strong ventilation guidelines for improved indoor air quality, and you can earn many points for selecting healthy materials. Better insulation also helps reduce street noise and make for a quiet, peaceful living environment.

5. Build the greenest home you can afford. Everyday Green will help you prioritize your green upgrades, and can provide a cost-benefit of each green feature you are considering. We’ve found the secret to LEED success isn’t spending more, it’s about integrating all the best practices in the industry and installing everything correctly.
