HBA Green Verification Process

R.E.A. Homes Receives Silver Level Verification

R.E.A Homes understands the HBA Green Home verification process, and in fact, our home located on Sherwyn Lane in Creve Coeur achieved a Silver Level Verification under the St. Louis Home Builders Association guidelines. This R.E.A. Homes’ property is one of only a few homes in the St. Louis region to achieve the Silver Level green verification.

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.
