WHY IT'S BETTER

NGBS GREEN CERTIFIED HOMES ARE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO A HIGHER STANDARD.

Simply put, green homes are better built homes. Green homes are designed and constructed to be healthier, more comfortable, have lower operating costs, be more durable, require less maintenance, and be part of a sustainable lifestyle. The builder of a green home incorporates advanced building science and products so that the home performs better than a code-minimum home.
