Building and development projects are qualified using one of four Built Green checklists, depending on the type of project, organized into environmentally friendly action categories. Builders, remodelers, architects and developers use the checklists prior to construction to determine which features to include in the home. When construction is complete, builders send a signed copy of the checklist to the MBA, certifying that the home identified in the application contains the identified features.

Based upon the builder’s submission, and after reviewing the application, the MBA will award the appropriate Certificate of Merit indicating that the home has received a 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-Star rating. Member companies also receive a handbook that details each one of the credits contained within the checklists. The four checklists are available for your review as downloadable pdf documents:
