Resources For Builders
Have you been looking for the pieces that will save you money and set you apart from other builders? A high performing home is a comfortable and energy-efficient home constructed with quality. With Go Green, NM on your team you can plan on building with energy in mind with a projected rating, our third party verification and quality control necessary to achieve high performing installations.

When construction is complete Go Green, NM will conduct a confirmed rating by performing a final blower door and duct leakage test. Then we will provide you with a HERS rating required for Build Green NM, Energy Star, LEED for Homes, Energy Efficient Mortgages and New Mexico Tax Credits. We can support you all the way to the end by providing  marketing tools to help you sell your home!
