Green Building Residential

The Office of Environmental Affairs sponsors the Green Points Building Program to encourage the use of cost-effective and sustainable remodeling and building methods that conserve fossil fuels, water and other natural resources.

Finding the right products and designs for your new home or remodeling project can be as important as finding the right professionals to do the job.

The purpose of the City of Boulder Green Points Building program is to:

• Help homeowners find the products and designs for building "green."
• Encourage Boulder homeowners to include cost-effective and sustainable remodeling and building methods that conserve fossil fuels, water and other natural resources.
• Promote the recycling of construction materials and reduce solid waste.
• Promote better indoor air quality.

The Green Points Program applies to all new residential construction, and additions and remodels larger than 500 square feet.

This program requires applicants earn "points" by selecting green building measures in order to receive a building permit
