Website Resources

This site contains a multitude of resources to help home building professionals, consumers, planners, and other audiences interested in learning about and building green. They include:

• The NAHB Green Scoring Tool walks users step-by-step through the NAHB Model Green Home Building Guidelines, with an easy to use "wizard" format that allows them to score their building project with a series of checkboxes. Verification information, additional resources, and keyword definitions are never more than a click away, so users can get more information about the technologies and strategies outlined in the Guidelines. Importantly, the NAHB Green Scoring Tool is organized so users can navigate to the section or line item of their choice at any time.

Users must register to use the interactive scoring tool. Registration is free, and allows you to save, edit, review and track green home projects. There is no limit on the number of open projects, which provides the unique opportunity to compare building options. If you have already completed the registration process, sign in to return to your projects.
