About the Program

What is a “HealthyBuilt” home?

A HealthyBuilt Home is a comfortable, healthy and affordable home that reduces energy and water usage and protects the environment. Building materials and processes are selected to reduce pollution and the waste of natural resources both during the manufacturing and construction phases and throughout the life of the home. Because the quality, amenities, and energy savings are evident, these homes have a higher value and are easier to sell.

What is the NC HealthyBuilt Homes Program?

The NC HealthyBuilt Homes Program is a collaborative program between the North Carolina Solar Center, the State Energy Office, NC Department of Administration, and local building professional organizations.

NC HealthyBuilt Homes is targeted at small to medium size home builders who may not have the resources to compete with larger builders in the rapidly emerging field of green building. This program offers technical assistance, marketing assistance, design reviews, workshops,
presentations, and field consultation services that enable the builder to increase his or her firm’s knowledge.

There are requirements that a NC HealthyBuilt Home and builder must meet to participate. The key is that how you meet requirements is up to you-it’s your choice! There are guidelines for building in an environmentally friendly way; you may be surprised at how many “green” choices you already make. Yes, there are fees for entry into the program but these are small compared to the many new marketing and consulting people you will have working with you to make your business perform at a higher level.
