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.

We work closely with builders, architects, and homeowners from the initial design phase through construction and final verification. Our goal is to streamline the certification process, ensuring that your project not only meets but exceeds the standard’s requirements efficiently and cost-effectively.
Benefits of NGBS Certification:
• Green Home Certification: Provides third-party verification that homes meet stringent national standards for green construction, building consumer trust.
• Health, Efficiency & Value: Results in homes that are more energy-efficient, reduce water usage, offer superior indoor air quality, and often command higher resale values.
• Reduced Operating Costs: Homeowners benefit from lower utility bills due to efficient heating, cooling, and water systems.
