NC HealthyBuilt Homes is a voluntary, statewide green building certification
program supported by the North Carolina Solar Center, the State Energy
Office, Home Builder Associations, and other professional building
organizations.
This program offers a recognized green certification, technical and
marketing assistance, design reviews, workshops, and field consultation
services that enable builders to increase their green building expertise,
gain market share of home buyers interested in high-performance building
techniques, and boost companies profitability.
The WNC Green Building Council (WNCGBC) and the Asheville Home Builder
Association (AHBA) are pleased to offer the NC HealthyBuilt Homes Program to
builders in the Greater Asheville Area and the following NC counties:
Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon,
Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, and
Yancey.
Think of it as preventive healthcare. On a new home, we are there from the
planning to the sitework, exterior construction to interiors, appliances and
lighting selection to landscaping. A HealthyBuilt Home Rater helps guide the
process, makes regular inspections of materials and quality, and ensures a
final inspection that gains the valuable HealthyBuilt Home certification. It
is probably one of the most important investments you’ll make. While there
may be no place like home, it just common sense to make sure your home is a
HealthyBuilt Home. Living in a HealthyBuilt Home is healthier for you and
the environment. With a NC HealthyBuilt Home, you’ll enjoy higher
performance in a sustainable, energy-efficient dwelling that was built to
meet our rigorous standards for comfort and durability.
