The Checklists outline a series of basic requirements which every certified home
or remodeling project must meet. In addition, home owners and builders can work together to select features from the Checklist that address erosion control, stormwater management, materials selection, water and energy conservation, indoor air quality and waste reduction. Both the Basic Requirements and these other features are assigned point values. Each
new home must earn a minimum of 60 points while remodeling
projects must earn 10-60 points depending on the extent of the
renovations.
