Introducing GreenPoint Rated: Your Assurance of a Better Place to Live

These days, it seems like everyone's talking about green homes, and for good reason. Environmentally friendly homes not only save resources and money, they can last longer, be healthier and more comfortable, and hold their value better than similarly priced homes. But how can you tell if a home really is green?

Enter GreenPoint Rated. GreenPoint Rated removes the guessworkby 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:

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