Homes by Dickerson Recognized as Home Innovation 2024 NGBS Green Partner of Excellence

Homes by Dickerson has been named a Home Innovation NGBS Green Partner of Excellence for 2024. Based on the ICC-700 National Green Building Standard® (NGBS), the NGBS Green Certification program has certified more homes than any other national green home certification initiative. With over 650,000 homes now NGBS Green Certified, this achievement is made possible by the ongoing dedication of exceptional builder partners like Homes by Dickerson.

Honorees were recognized across several categories – NGBS Green Verifiers, Single-Family Builders, and Multifamily Builders/Developers. Recognition among this distinguished group reflects the commitment Homes by Dickeson has made to delivering homes that offer increased value, comfort, durability, and energy and water efficiency to consumers.

“Our builder and developer partners aren’t just constructing buildings—they’re shaping the future of housing,” said Michelle Foster, Vice President of Sustainability at Home Innovation. “Through their commitment to NGBS Green certification, they’re proving that it’s possible to build homes and communities that are not only efficient and resilient, but also healthier, more sustainable, and more meaningful for the people who live in them. We’re honored to celebrate their leadership and impact.”

To earn NGBS Green certification, a home must meet rigorous performance standards across six key categories: Lot & Site Development, Resource Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Homeowner Education. Each category includes mandatory practices, as well as optional practices tailored to specific markets and buyers. Homes must also meet minimum point thresholds in every category to reach higher certification levels—making NGBS Green the most comprehensive green home certification program in the country.

Our High-Performance Certified-Green Homes are so much more than just energy-efficient, they offer our homeowners peace of mind about their comfort, health, money and overall impact on the environment. At Homes by Dickerson, we are committed to building each of our custom homes with this philosophy in mind, regardless of price point or location, because it is our passion to be good stewards of your money while offering you the best options available when it comes to performance, health and flexibility.
