The Research Center is also making available additional tools and services:

New Certification Fact Sheets. The Research Center has created a number of fact sheets to help explain and market National Green Building Certification and more are in development. Topics include a National Green Building Certification Overview; 5 Simple Steps to Certification; National Green Building Standard Overview; and Green Remodeling Certification Overview. Affiliated HBAs can use these fact sheets as handouts for membership meetings, trade shows and new member/recruitment packages, or to re-purpose the content for use in newsletters or articles in the local media. 

Dual Certification with DOE’s Builders Challenge. In June, the Research Center added a new option under National Green Building Certification -- dual certification to the National Green Building Standard and the U.S. Department of Energy Builders Challenge program – saving time and money for participating builders.

LINKEDIN Group. The NAHB Research Center has established a professional networking group on LinkedIn to help builders and remodelers collaborate with qualified professionals and further their green educations. Create a LinkedIn profile or use your existing profile to join the National Green Building Certification  group. The goal is to provide a collaborative and supportive environment for national certification program participants to learn from and share with each other. [return to top]
