GreenPoint Rated Checklists

The GreenPoint Rated Checklists are available to download for free, using the links below. NOTE: Save to your hard drive before use.

The adoption of California Green Building Standards Code 2010 (CALGreen) for low-rise residential includes a list of mandatory measures which will be effective January 1, 2011. As a result, the GreenPoint Rated Checklist has been modified and now incorporates these code required measures to facilitate compliance with the code and to allow for verification of the code by GreenPoint Raters upon jurisdictional approval.
