Resources

GreenPoint Rated homes use less of our precious natural resources than conventional homes. Jobsite materials are recycled during construction. Homes often use more durable, specially engineered building materials and sustainably harvested lumber to protect old-growth forests. They include recycled-content products that keep waste out of landfills. For example, decking materials made of recycled plastic mixed with wood waste fibers can last up to five times longer than wood decking and never need to be treated or painted. It's all part of the GreenPoint Rated way–reducing waste, improving quality, and saving you money.
