What do Green Building Certifiers do?

Green Buildings Certifiers have a strong knowledge of building science and what makes homes sustainable and resilient. A green home inspector and certifier knows the value of an airtight home for improved energy efficiency and durability, and knows what makes a home fail in order to ensure that it doesn’t. Knowledge of where to put vapor barriers, how to break thermal bridges, how to install insulation properly are essential, as heat loss and air leakage through walls causes high energy bills and damage to walls due to moisture build up and mold. Green home certifications like Net Zero, Passive House and LEED for Homes means a home is built to higher standards, so will be more valuable as they last longer and have higher resale values.
