Our residential new construction programs help you build or buy a green, energy-efficient home—single or multi-family. We work directly with architects, builders, developers, homebuyers, and other construction professionals to elevate building practices for greater sustainability, energy efficiency, comfort, health, and safety. These premium homes meet and exceed building code requirements—and mean lower energy bills and greater comfort, health, durability, and sensitivity to the local and global community.

We are new home experts
CSG currently administers a wide range of new construction programs—including ENERGY STAR® Qualified Homes programs in New England, New York, and Oregon and LEED® for Homes in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We work with energy program administrators and others to recruit, train, inspire, and enable builders and contractors to practice energy-efficient and sustainable new construction techniques in single and multi-family homes.

  • LEED® for Homes—CSG has been selected as a LEED® for Homes pilot demonstration provider. LEED® for Homes is a voluntary rating system that promotes the design and construction of high performance "green" homes. A green home uses less energy, water, and natural resources; creates less waste; and is healthier and more comfortable for the occupants. Benefits of a LEED home include lower energy and water bills; reduced greenhouse gas emissions; and less exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins. The net cost of owning a LEED home is comparable to that of owning a conventional home. The LEED Rating System is the nationally recognized standard for green building. LEED certification recognizes and rewards builders for meeting the highest performance standards, and gives homeowners confidence that their home is durable, healthy, and environmentally friendly.
