This Guide to Certification applies to all residential design and construction projects seeking LEED certification, including all single-family homes, multi-family and multi-family core and shell projects. Learn more.

Now, onward to registration: visit LEED Online, the online portal through which you can complete the registration information related to your project, submit payment and sign the certification agreement (the project owner must do this last one).

A project is defined as a single building. For example, a development consisting of six single-family homes would be six projects, and a project consisting of three large multifamily buildings with 50 residential units each would be considered three projects. If you are working on multiple buildings at once, such as a group of multifamily buildings or a production home development, we offer bulk registration and batch certification to help streamline verification requirements and reduce cost.

Integrative Project Planning requires you to conduct a preliminary meeting with the LEED Green Rater and key members of your project team early in the design process. As part of the meeting, you will create an action plan that identifies the following:

Many prerequisite and credit requirements cannot be adequately verified through site visits alone. For those reasons, the LEED Green Rater will ask to see appropriate documentation, such as project plans, material specifications, etc., before the final site visit. Make sure to keep key documents on hand and well organized and be sure to send them promptly to your LEED Green Rater when asked!

Once construction is complete, including landscape, and all supplemental documentation has been provided, the Green Rater and Energy Rater return for the final mandatory site visit. During this visit, the Green Rater verifies that you have met all remaining prerequisite and credit requirements, and the Energy Rater conducts the required performance testing.

All LEED residential projects undergo a certification review, in which your LEED Green Rater will submit your entire application (all credits and prerequisites) to GBCI for a final quality review once the project is complete.

Note that GBCI offers 2 rounds of review (a preliminary and final) for pre-reviews within the standard process. Following two rounds of review, a supplemental (appeal) review is also available for additional fees.

Occasionally, there may be circumstances that prevent timely submission for certification, however all projects seeking LEED certification must submit for review no later than two years after the project is substantially completed (the date on which your building receives a certificate of occupancy or similar official indication that it is fit and ready for use). If you decide you no longer want to pursue LEED certification for your project, we understand. Please contact GBCI so that they can close your application and maintain accurate records.

While all LEED certified projects are a cut above the rest, each is assigned one of four levels of certification to acknowledge the degree of achievement. The number of points that your project earns determines the level of LEED Certification that your project will receive.

We use your project data for the greater good: to educate and provide resources for LEED project teams and others around the world, showcase your strategies, and share the size and power of the green building movement.

For more information, LEED 2008 projects should read the Scope and Eligibility Guidelines LEED for Homes - 2008 Version. LEED v4 projects should visit the LEED Credit Library to read the specifics on Minimum Program Requirements and the Supplemental Guidance to the Minimum Program Requirements.

Integrative Project Planning Prerequisite 1.1 within the LEED for Homes rating system requires you to conduct a preliminary meeting with the Verification Team and key members of your project team early in the design process. As part of the meeting, you will create an action plan that identifies the following:

Once construction is complete, including landscape, the Green Rater and energy rater return for the second mandatory site visit. During this visit, the Green Rater verifies that you have met all remaining prerequisite and credit requirements, and the energy rater conducts the required performance testing.

Many prerequisite and credit requirements cannot be adequately verified through site visits alone. For those reasons, the Verification Team will ask to see appropriate documentation, such as project plans, material specifications, etc. Make sure to keep key documents on-hand and well organized!

Once your Verification Team has verified all prerequisites and pursued credits, the Green Rater is ready to submit the appropriate documentation to the LEED for Homes Provider for their quality assurance review. This occurs before your Provider submits your completed LEED for Homes Workbook for certification review to GBCI.

Your Provider will need to submit for review no later than two years after your project is substantially completed (the date on which your building receives a certificate of occupancy or similar official indication that it is fit and ready for use). If you decide you no longer want to pursue LEED certification for your project, we understand. Please contact GBCI so that they can close your application and maintain accurate records.

This Certification Challenge Policy has been put in place to protect the integrity of the LEED certification program as a credible, accurate, and industry-recognized system for evaluating the design and construction of sustainable buildings. GBCI intends this policy to function as both a quality check on GBCI LEED reviews, as well as an instrument designed to detect and remedy incidents of intentional or inadvertent misrepresentation which result in the inappropriate award of LEED certification. This policy is not meant to serve as a vehicle for the adjudication of disputes between outside parties. Accordingly, this policy and the certification challenge process detailed herein do not replace any applicable judicial or other alternative dispute resolution processes that third parties may have available to resolve such disputes between themselves. Complaints that might warrant initiation of the Certification Challenge Process should be submitted to le...@gbci.org.

LEED-certified homes are designed to provide clean indoor air and ample natural light and to use safe building materials to ensure our comfort and good health. They help us reduce our energy and water consumption, thereby lowering utility bills each month, among other financial benefits. Using the strategies outlined in LEED, homeowners are having a net-positive impact on their communities.

For better homes, accountability makes a difference. Through a carefully managed, independent, third-party verification system, LEED-certification affirms the integrity of green building commitments by ensuring project teams are delivering on design plans and goals. Third-party validation helps guarantee that each project saves energy, water and other resources, reducing overall environmental impact. No cutting corners.

ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments are designed and built better from the ground up. The ENERGY STAR label is a symbol of trust, quality, and responsible stewardship of the environment that we all live in.

"Choosing an ENERGY STAR home has made a significant difference for us. Our first electric bill was extremely low-we love the savings! And knowing that we have an energy-efficient home we can live in for years is so comforting."

"Our utility bills are half of what they were in the previous home even though we have an additional five hundred square feet in our new home. I cannot say enough about how wonderful it is to be doing our part for a better tomorrow!"

"It is everything that my husband and I expected it to be, but the best part of living here is that we save a great amount of money on energy costs. Thanks to that, our family is saving and able to plan for our future."

"In my ENERGY STAR certified home, the builder paid extra attention to sealing every hole, having low-e windows installed to help reflect the sun's heat, and building a roof with a radiant barrier to further suppress heat intake into the home. To date, my highest electric bill has been around $92. "

"My house is an ENERGY STAR certified house. Going from a 600 square foot apartment to a 2,000 square foot home, I expected at least a 30% increase in my electric bill, but I was wrong. When I opened my first bill I was shocked at how low my bill was!"
