Are you interested in getting a new home certified Green or even an existing home certified? The below links are very helpful.
LEED will be the best choice for a new build and Pearl certification will be the best choice for existing homes.
Remember, even if you do not go the whole certification route, the goal is to live your best healthy and comfortable life! At the end of the day, a home that is healthier, more comfortable and cheaper to operate will be worth more money should you ever decide to sell. In the meantime, enjoy your beautiful home!
