Building a Green Home in the Raleigh NC Area
Certified Green Homes
A “certified green home” provides peace of mind that comes from a new home with increased efficiency and reduced impacts on the
environment and your family’s health.
A certified green home incorporates environmental considerations into every phase and aspect of
the home building process. And it’s all independently verified by a third party inspector.
Raleigh custom home builder Stanton Homes will work with you to consider hundreds of green options for a beautiful home that meets the seven guiding principles of green building.
Green Home Certification Levels
Green building programs in North Carolina’s Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area typically have three levels:
Bronze, Silver, and Gold,
that provide staggered approaches to effectively and holistically weave green building options into every step of construction.
Nearly any home plan can be built green, and certified by award-winning local third party inspectors and innovators such as Southern
Energy Management.
