The NC HealthyBuilt Homes Program provides a certificate for homes meeting "green home guidelines" built by residential builders who practice sustainable, high performance building strategies making the home a comfortable, healthy and affordable place that reduces energy and water usage, promotes renewable energy use and helps protect the land where the home is built.
In a HealthyBuilt Home, building materials and processes are selected to reduce pollution and the waste of natural resources during the manufacturing and construction phases and throughout the life of the home. The builder is encouraged to provide homeowner education about the high performance features of the home and provide local resources for "green" living.
Why live in a HealthyBuilt Home?
NC HealthyBuilt Homes' vision is based on the 3 P's - people, planet and pocketbook. 'Planet' (or environmentally sensitive) building practices are integrated with the idea of enhancing the lives of 'people' in an economical manner so it helps your monthly 'pocketbook'. Other names for HealthyBuilt are: "green", "sustainable" and "high performance" building.
