Verifier Training

Think you have what it takes to be a verifier for the National Green Building Program? Then you are encouraged to apply to become a verifier and sign-up for training. Applicants must meet the pre-requisites to participate in training administered by the NAHB Research Center and pass a verifier accreditation test.

Verifier Training Information

When you apply to become a verifier, you must choose a training session. Sessions include classroom seminars, online seminars, and self-guided online materials (coming soon).

These half-day courses cover the protocol for verifying that a house meets the national certification program requirements, and are intended to ensure all verifiers across the country evaluate homes in a consistent manner.

Additional sessions will be scheduled to coincide with other regional and national trade shows, including the 2009 International Builders' Show.

Currently, the NAHB Research Center will not charge a fee for participation in any training sessions, but there is a $125 annual accreditation/listing fee for verifiers. A Verifier Agreement must be executed by the prospective verifier and the NAHB Research Center prior to the verifier being listed.

Registration must be submitted at least one week prior to any training session to allow time for confirmation of the participant’s experience and qualifications by the NAHB Research Center.

Organizations interested in hosting an on-site training session should contact us via e-mail or call 877-NAHB-GRN.
