USGBC LEED CERTIFICATION FOR HOMES is a third party certification that allows clients and those involved in a building process to be assured of the building’s sustainable integrity. The certification emphasizes that the building be sustainably built, healthy to live in, and financially cost beneficial to the client through water and energy conservation. LEED certification is the best guarantor available because it measures a building’s performance. However, a healthy and net-zero home can be achieved without official certification. Stevens Sustainable Homes works with our clients and their finances to best suit their needs and desires. We may meet or exceed certification standards having the same priorities and values without the added cost of actual certification. For more information on LEED certification visit www.usgbc.org/leed/
