LEED for Homes Process

1. Decide you want to build a LEED for Homes Certified Home.

2. Locate a local LEED for Homes Provider and a LEED for Homes Green Rater. They will work together the ensure that your project team is, in fact, designing and building a LEED for Homes Certified project.

3. Register your project. (Then you get to use the cool LEED for Homes logo.)

4. Identify a project team, including an architect or designer, a landscape architect, a general contractor, and key subcontractors. If one of your team members is a LEED for Homes AP (Accredited Professional), then congratulations! You've already earned a point.

5. Build the home to the stated goals. That should be easy enough, right?

6. Certify the project as a LEED home.

7. Move in and enjoy!
