2024 High Performance Home Tour EARLY BIRD Deadline
Showcase your company as a certified green home builder - it is easier than you think!
Online entry portal will open on December 5.
- Homes DO NOT HAVE TO BE COMPLETE, and often it is easier to show the green building features that are "behind the walls" in an incomplete home.
- Home may be OWNER OCCUPIED with the owner's approval.
- Green certified REMODELING PROJECTS are also eligible to enter!
*Certification costs are typically less than 1% of the cost of the home.

o Energy Star for Homes
o NGBS (National Green Building Standard)
o LEED for Homes
o ecoSelect
o DOE Zero Energy Ready Home
o Environments for Living
o Passive House
o HERS (Home Energy Rating Score) w Solar designed to offset a minimum of 80% of total electricity use (net-zero and net zero ready homes); If solar is not installed then a solar quote must be provided as part of the marketing materials demonstrating a home is "net-zero ready";
o Other 3rd Party verified program that demonstrates the builder’s commitment to building a healthy-built, energy-efficient home.
