Austin Energy’s Residential Green Building Program promotes the design, construction, and operation of higher-quality, more-sustainable buildings and rates projects on a scale of one to five stars, with five stars as the greenest.
As a AEGB trained and certified Extended Area Rater we offer builder support, inspections, and compliance reviews of program credits. We also submit documentation to AEGB for review and certification. We help construction professionals achieve higher-quality results by emphasizing green-building principles and teamwork at every stage of a project.
The extended area includes 25 Central Texas Counties. (The extended area includes counties in Climate Zones 2.2 and 3.1 east of the Moist/Dry Line and west of the Brazos River. It does not include Bexar County, Build Green San Antonio’s home area.)
