About Us
The Green Audit USA team brings a deep understanding of science, engineering, home performance and construction to every project. Each of our auditors has multiple Building Performance Institute (BPI) certifications as well as RESNET or US Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credentials. Our crew lead positions also have BPI and EPA Lead certifications.
That means there is always someone on site that has solid experience and a strong knowledge of the fundamentals of how to do the work properly. Beyond the know-how, we understand the why, so we can make the proper recommendations and adjust them when we uncover unexpected surprises.
We invest in the best diagnostic equipment and in the education of our workforce. We have assembled a team with decades of design, building and environmental experience—ready to help you.
