Build Greener, Live Better: Achieve NGBS National Green Building Standard Certification
For home builders and developers committed to constructing high-performance, sustainable homes, the NGBS (National Green Building Standard) offers a clear and achievable path to certification. At Energy Cost Solutions Group, LLC (ECSG), we specialize in guiding residential projects through the NGBS certification process, helping you deliver homes that are healthier, more efficient, and more valuable.
What is the NGBS (National Green Building Standard)?
The NGBS, officially known as ICC 700 National Green Building Standard, is the only residential green building rating system approved by ANSI (American National Standards Institute). It provides a flexible yet rigorous framework for certifying single-family homes, multi-family buildings, residential remodels, and even land development projects. The standard covers six key areas: Lot Design and Development, Resource Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Homeowner Education.
