GreenPoint Rated Existing Home

With 70% of our existing home stock in California built prior to 1980 and the adoption of the California Title 24 energy code, the need to upgrade existing homes is enormous.

In a continued effort to promote healthy, energy and resource-efficient buildings in California, Build It Green has developed GreenPoint Rated Existing Home. Modeled after GreenPoint Rated New Home, GreenPoint Rated Existing Home is the first comprehensive green building rating system for existing homes of its kind in the nation and is available for homes of all vintages; existing or undergoing remodeling.

A major objective of the Existing Home rating system is to educate homeowners and building professionals about the benefits of the best practices listed in the GreenPoint Rated Existing Home Checklist and to provide a pathway for making continued improvements. Depending on a home's current energy performance and the extent of green home improvements, it will receive either an Elements or Whole House consumer label.
