Residential Green
Building Program
For Homeowners and Building Professionals

Austin Energy's Residential Green Building Program rates new and remodeled homes using sustainable guidelines on a scale of 1 to 5 stars: the more green features in the home, the more stars.

Homes are rated in six areas:

	Energy efficiency
	Testing
	Water efficiency
	Materials efficiency
	Heath and safety
	Community
