New Construction Certification Process
The Earth Advantage® certification process involves six steps:
 Plan Review
The builder meets with our specialist to review the building plans.
Determining Materials and Methods
Our specialist recommends the most cost-effective way to meet Earth Advantage requirements.
Consultation
During construction, our specialist provides technical and educational support to the builder and subcontractors.
Walk-Through
Periodic on-site inspections during construction ensure the proper installation of materials and appliances.
Performance Testing
Early on, a forced-air system test rates the air loss levels in the ducting. At the end of construction, a blower door test determines the air changes per hour in the home.
Certification
At the end of the process, if the standards are met the builder and the owner receive certificates that signify the home meets Earth Advantage standards.
