Homeowners, designers or contractors can choose to apply for participation in CCSBP's certification program. Like LEED, this free, third-party certification program confers certification at a specific level (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum) based on the points the project achieves on a CCSBP checklist. Residential, commercial and retrofits can all participate in this program.
