Build It Green

Build It Green is a professional non-profit membership organization whose mission is to promote healthy, energy and resource-efficient buildings in California.

Build It Green fosters collaboration with key stakeholder groups to accelerate the adoption of green building practices, policies, and programs through its network of councils.

VGM LLC is considering pursuing a GreenPoint Rated certification. GreenPoint Rated removes the guesswork by having a Certified GreenPoint Rater evaluate a home's green features allowing homes to be compared on a level playing field. GreenPoint Rated rewards building professionals and homeowners who create green homes by allowing them to brand their products with a recognizable, trustworthy seal of approval.

Think of GreenPoint Rated as a report card for a home. A GreenPoint Rated home is graded on five categories:

• Resource Conservation
• Indoor Air Quality
• Water Conservation
• Community
• Energy Efficiency
