The NC HealthyBuilt Homes Program provides a certificate for homes meeting "green home guidelines" built by residential builders and developers who practice sustainable, high performance building strategies making the home a comfortable, healthy and affordable place to live. These builders implement strategies that reduce energy and water usage, promote renewable energy use, help protect the land and natural resources where the home is built, and reduce pollution and the waste of natural resources during the manufacturing and construction phases and throughout the life of the home.

The NC Solar Center and the NC HealthyBuilt Homes Program are proud to partner with ENERGY STAR to promote energy efficient products and practices that save money and protect our environment. All NC HealthyBuilt Homes must meet ENERGY STAR requirements to earn a label as an ENERGY STAR home.
