LEED for Homes

CHDC is proud to be pursuing LEED for Homes certification for Greenth Street. A voluntary rating system, LEED for Homes was created by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to promote green building techniques, energy saving strategies, and use of high performance materials, appliances, and mechanical and electrical equipment. The LEED-certification system is based on a point system within specific categories in the build process. These categories include: Innovation & Design, Location & Linkages, Suitable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Awareness & Education.

Based on the amount of points earned, a LEED-certified house will receive a rating of Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum. CHDC is in the process of achieving Silver level for Greenth Street.
