This program is administered by the Building Industry Association of Whatcom County, using a checklist-based system. Various levels of certification are possible: typically, the higher levels require that the project be inspected and documented by a certified third-party verifier to ensure accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Working in conjunction with professionals from all realms of home building, in addition to the building departments for both the city and county, the Built Green program sets its own criteria for certification. Whatcom County&#8217;s Built Green program certifies new single-family homes; remodels, and are piloting a commercial program as well.<\/p>\n<p>Projects that are certified through Built Green have demonstrated achievement in several areas of environmental responsibility:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preserving natural processes through responsible site and water management;<\/li>\n<li>Lowering operating costs through energy-efficient equipment and systems;<\/li>\n<li>Reducing toxins and pollutants for a healthier indoor environment;<\/li>\n<li>Minimizing waste by careful materials selection and jobsite recycling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Proudly Partnered With<\/h4>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3362 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.credoconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/energystar.jpg?resize=200%2C94\" alt=\"energystar\" width=\"200\" height=\"94\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3364 size-square\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.credoconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/builtgreen-180x109.png?resize=180%2C109\" alt=\"builtgreen\" width=\"180\" height=\"109\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7vqmcx-e52801b679eec44252e4d1acf1e0f821\">\n.flex_column.av-7vqmcx-e52801b679eec44252e4d1acf1e0f821{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-7vqmcx-e52801b679eec44252e4d1acf1e0f821 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><div  class='av_promobox av-6jsl0h-cb567d7d01139781c132f1f2c461e4f1 avia-button-yes  avia-builder-el-6  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\nLearn more about Building Green.<\/p>\n<\/div><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-6jsl0h-9082a156546b6b1c7791152d040302d7-wrap avia-button-right '><a href='http:\/\/www.credoconstruction.com\/built-green-overview'  class='avia-button av-6jsl0h-9082a156546b6b1c7791152d040302d7 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-right avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Click me\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Click me<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3ip44h-494bb7c55ee2b01d831c96ca9744c254\">\n.flex_column.av-3ip44h-494bb7c55ee2b01d831c96ca9744c254{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3ip44h-494bb7c55ee2b01d831c96ca9744c254 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><div  class='av_promobox av-31vma9-d909dd1c233d11067923db9cf4f0cc51 avia-button-yes  avia-builder-el-8  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><div class='avia-promocontent'><p>\nLearn more about the advantages you can have by building green.<\/p>\n<\/div><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-31vma9-7399057df38658caa7923d52855444ec-wrap avia-button-right '><a href='http:\/\/www.credoconstruction.com\/the-advantages-of-a-built-green-home\/'  class='avia-button av-31vma9-7399057df38658caa7923d52855444ec av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-right avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Click me\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Click me<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3361","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
