Building & Project Certifications:

National Green Building Standard (NGBS)

Prove the effectiveness and value of your sustainable building practices with NGBS certification from Keen Living. Owners of high-performing NGBS homes and multifamily properties enjoy the benefits of high energy efficiency, cleaner and healthier indoor air quality, and low building operation and maintenance costs.

Zero Energy Ready Homes

The Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Homes program recognizes homes that are so efficient that a renewable energy system can offset annual energy consumption.

Keen Living helps your project stay on track to earn its certification so you can enjoy the benefits of a healthy, comfortable environment with advanced durability and energy savings.

Indoor airPLUS

An Indoor Air Plus certified home is constructed with specific building principles and products to minimize occupant exposure to contaminants and pollutants. A healthy home is always ideal, but this certification provides additional peace of mind and value for those who suffer from chronic respiratory conditions.

Keen Living works with partners to ensure your project meets requirements to earn its Indoor Air Plus certification.

ENERGY STAR®
