National Green Building Standard (NGBS)

The National Green Building Standard (NGBS) is an ANSI-approved third-party green building certification for residential construction, including single-family homes, multifamily buildings, renovations, and land development. It measures performance in six core areas such as energy efficiency, water use, resource conservation, indoor environmental quality, and operation & maintenance. Projects can achieve Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Emerald levels based on the number of green practices implemented.

NGBS certification validates that a project is designed and built with a high standard of sustainability and efficiency. It can differentiate your development in the market, improve long-term value, and demonstrate environmental responsibility to residents and stakeholders.

Certification involves documentation review and at least two independent on-site inspections by an accredited NGBS Green Verifier to ensure compliance with rating criteria throughout project phases.

Our team can guide your project through the NGBS certification process—from planning and documentation to verification—ensuring a smooth and successful outcome.
