EmailRegional and Local Green Home Rating Systems
Systems | While a number of national green home rating systems were developed in the past few years, a larger number of local and regional programs developed concurrently. |
Why They Were Developed | Appraisers should know that local green home rating programs might well be more recognized and marketable than national systems, depending on the locality. It behooves property appraisers to assess which green rating systems or certifications are prominent in a given area. Local green-home tours are a good source of insight, as well as attendance at local meetings of design and construction associations. |
