About LEED for Homes

LEED for Homes is a voluntary, points-based green building certification system developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) that was launched in the early 2000s. LEED-certified homes are designed and built to address not only energy efficiency, but additional key conservation criteria such as water and material usage, indoor air quality, landscape, and community. LEED for Homes certification demands attention to detail and an engaged, experienced team.

Choose BER as your LEED for Homes Provider

A LEED for Homes Provider organization is the liaison between the USGBC and the project team, coordinating closely with the Green Rater from start to finish. As your LEED-H Provider, BER will:

• Provide project support right from the outset
• Register projects with the USGBC on your behalf
• Provide quality assurance on each project, reviewing documentation and identifying opportunities throughout the building process
• Offer technical assistance to ensure success at the final certification stage
• Submit the final documentation to the USGBC for Certification

How to Become a LEED Green Rater

In addition to project certification support, BER provides professional support to you as a Green Rater, keeping you up to date on program changes and offering ongoing training and oversight. If you are new to LEED for Homes, we can guide you through the process of becoming a Green Rater.
