At Homes By Dickerson, we are incredibly proud to announce that we have been recognized as a 2023 NGBS Green Partner of Excellence by Home Innovation. This prestigious honor highlights our ongoing commitment to building homes that offer the best in energy efficiency, sustainability, and overall value to our homeowners.

The National Green Building Standard™ (NGBS) certification is based on the ICC-700 National Green Building Standard, a program that has certified more homes than any other national green home certification. In fact, the NGBS Green program recently surpassed 500,000 certified homes, a milestone we’re proud to contribute to through our unwavering focus on green building practices.

A Commitment to Excellence and Sustainability

Being recognized as a Green Partner of Excellence validates the dedication we bring to every home we build. By meeting the rigorous NGBS Green certification standards, we ensure that each home not only provides comfort and durability but also operates with peak efficiency across six key categories: Lot & Site Development, Resource Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality, Homeowner Education

These categories set a high bar, with mandatory practices in each area, along with optional features that allow us to tailor our approach based on what’s most important to our clients. The stringent requirements of the NGBS certification make it the leading choice for builders, developers, and architects who are focused on sustainable, resilient homes.

 A New Way to Define Success

“NGBS Green Certification has always been a way for builders to differentiate their properties from others in the market for financial success,” said Michelle Foster, Home Innovation’s Vice President, Sustainability. “We’re now happy to see the market shifting to a new way of defining success, beyond just monetary gain. Due to an increased focus on ESG goals by investors and buyers, builders and developers are drawn to the program to demonstrate their commitment to a broader spectrum of environmental measures and their connection to social and management factors. NGBS Green is part of a new kind of success where builders, like Homes By Dickerson, are striving for their companies to be sustainable and resilient and inclusive and profitable. Win, win, win, win!”

For us, this means going beyond building beautiful homes. We’re driven by a passion for creating spaces that not only meet but exceed the expectations of homeowners in terms of energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and sustainability. Every Homes By Dickerson home is Energy Star Certified, built to the National Green Building Standard, and voluntarily constructed to meet the stringent requirements of the NC HERO Code.

While our craftsmanship and design are second to none, what truly sets us apart is the attention to detail behind the walls. The materials, systems, and building practices we use ensure that your home operates at peak efficiency—saving energy, reducing costs, and providing lasting comfort for years to come.

By incorporating the NGBS Green framework into every home we build, we offer our clients not just a place to live, but a home that’s healthier, more efficient, and environmentally responsible.
