Sweepstakes!

Enter to Win the GreenPoint Rating Sweepstakes!

A GreenPoint Rating, the gold standard label for green homes.

Valued at $2,000.00!!

A GreenPoint Rated label is a sign of quality construction, beauty, comfort, and health—the health of people as well as the health of the planet. GreenPoint Rated homes can also mean savings— savings on utilities, maintenance, and repairs, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and conservation of natural resources.

The GreenPoint Rated label also represents the gold standard in green home certification. The label is ideal for homeowners committed to ensuring their home meets high environmental standards.

Like a report card for green homes, GreenPoint Rated assigns points based on five categories: Energy Efficiency, Resource Conservation, Indoor Air Quality, Water Conservation and Community Benefits. Point values are awarded based on the use of green construction practices and sustainable materials that exceed California’s code requirements.

Enter the Green Label Sweepstakes.
In this sweepstakes, one lucky Los Angeles County homeowner will win a free GreenPoint Rating. A GreenPoint Rater will help you evaluate your home and the points awarded for your green home features. Your home must achieve a minimum point value in order to qualify for the label. Learn more about GreenPoint Rated.

Green Home Label Rebates.
Even if you don’t win the Sweepstakes, you may still be eligible for up to $2,000 in rebates to help pay for a green home label and up to $8,000 in rebates and incentives to help pay for energy upgrades. Learn more about additional rebates available.
