Built Green BC

"from  Outhouses  to  Dreamhouses"

Built Green is owned and managed by the Built Green Society of Canada.  Only certified Built Green builder members can build a Built Green home.

The program concentrates on four separate and distinct target areas:

• Energy efficiency
• Indoor air quality
• Resource use (including waste management)
• Overall environmental impact

The Built Green Checklist provides the foundation of the programs criteria, the four "green" achievement levels - Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.  The criteria includes an energy efficiency requirement using the EnerGuide for New Houses initiative.  In order to complete the EnerGuide rating for the home , a mandatory blower door test must be done on each home prior to occupancy.

Built Green promotes construction of buildings that are healthier for the occupants and healthier for the environment.  Sustainable or "green" building practices can reduce the tremendous impact that building has on both people and nature.

• Better energy efficiency means comfort and long term savings for the homeowner.
• Healthier indoor air means comfort, better health and peace of mind for the family.
• Durable, reduced-maintenance materials mean a longer life for the home and long term savings.
• Preserving natural resources means leaving more for future generations to enjoy.

Some of the key benefits are:

• Lower electric and water utility costs
• Environmental effective use of building materials
• Enhanced health and productivity
• Long-term economic returns
• Reduced environmental impact
