Green Verification Process

Often times our clients request their homes be built to third party green programs. At REA Homes we have a thorough knowledge of the three major national green building programs, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), NAHB Green Building (National Association of Home Builders) and ENERGY STAR (federal government program). The benefits to building a home to one of these standards includes third party inspection and verification of the homes actual performance. We currently have projects enrolled in all three of these programs. As an example we recently completed a home in Creve Coeur that achieved Silver level verification through the NAHB Program.

The Silver Level Verification process is an active partnership between Laclede Gas and the Home Builders Association of St. Louis and Eastern Missouri.  After multiple inspections by Laclede Gas, the R.E.A. property was officially verified at the Silver Level according to the National Association of Home Builders scoring guidelines. 
Contact R.E.A. Homes for further information on the HBA verification process.

The Certified Green Professional (CGP)™ designation, administered by The National Association of Home Builders, recognizes builders, remodelers and other industry professionals who are committed to building green homes. Participants in the CGP program complete coursework designed to teach building industry professionals strategies for incorporating green building principles into homes using cost-effective and affordable options. Understanding that the future trend is living green, the CGP certification provides a greater understanding of sustainable building techniques, knowledge of methods to achieve higher energy efficiency, and marketing and sales tools specifically tailored to green building.
