What is an EarthCraft House Certified Home?

The EarthCraft House Program is a voluntary green building program that serves as a blueprint for healthy, comfortable homes that reduce energy costs and protect the environment. Each home is independently tested by a third-party to verify it meets the standards to be certified as an EarthCraft House. For a home to be certified as EarthCraft, the builder must submit a worksheet, follow a point system and allow inspection for EarthCraft certification once the building is complete.

An EarthCraft certified home looks like any other home with all the features and amenities you desire. Following the guidelines of the EarthCraft House Program, these money-saving, environmentally-friendly elements are built into the home.

The value to you as a homeowner is in the performance as an EarthCraft House certified home will –

• Require less maintenance
• Reduce operating costs
• Lower your total cost of home ownership
• Increase the value of your investment
• Provide a more quiet and comfortable home
• Promote and enable a healthier living environment
