Enterprise Green Communities Certification
Ensure your housing development meets Enterprise Green Communities sustainability standards. We provide full certification and compliance testing.
Building Affordable Housing the Right Way – Sustainable, Efficient, and Resilient
Building affordable housing should never mean sacrificing quality, comfort, or energy efficiency. That’s why the Enterprise Green Communities (EGC) Certification was created—to ensure low-income housing meets high sustainability and energy efficiency standards.
At Econsultants LLC, we work with builders, developers, and housing organizations to meet the EGC standards, which improve:
- Building efficiency and energy performance
- Indoor air quality and sustainability
- Access to funding, grants, and tax incentives
What is Enterprise Green Communities Certification?
EGC is the leading green building standard for affordable housing in the U.S., ensuring homes are:
✅ Energy-efficient – Reduce energy waste and lower costs.
✅ Healthy & comfortable – Better indoor air quality and proper ventilation.
✅ Sustainable & resilient – Built to withstand extreme climate conditions.
This certification is recognized by HUD, Fannie Mae, and major financing programs, helping developers secure funding and incentives while ensuring long-term operational savings.
Steps to Certification
✔ Pre-Development Review – Ensuring your project meets EGC criteria before breaking ground.
✔ On-Site Energy & Sustainability Testing – Including blower door, duct leakage, and HVAC inspections.
✔ Final Approval & Certification – Submitting compliance reports and obtaining your official Enterprise Green Communities seal.

Their deep knowledge, professionalism, and accommodating approach have consistently made them a "go-to" for everything related to the energy-building industry.

Their ability to navigate the complexities of energy certification and stay ahead of industry trends has been a game-changer, providing peace of mind that all bases are covered whether it's tackling unique challenges or providing expert guidance.
The Columbia Building Construction Code Commission reviewed the 2024 IECC. EConsultants gave the committee insight on all the significant changes and education on the procedures to accomplish the energy standards. They are a very knowledgeable and reliable company.
Our company‘s main focus is on starter homes. Over the years, Econsultants has provided wise guidance on how to keep our homes affordable while attaining the necessary energy efficiency rating. Thanks to Econsultants, we’ve been able to market our homes confidently as energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective—qualities that today’s homeowners deeply value. I wholeheartedly recommend Econsultants to any builder or business looking to improve their energy efficiency practices. They are a trusted ally and a true leader in their field.
Appreciate Econsultants for always being flexible and growing with our needs. From helping us determine our needs on energy standard requirements to growing with us to assist with 45L credits, Drew and his team have come up with answers as we continued to come up with new questions. Most of our calls start with, “we have no idea what we are asking on this, but what do you know about…..”. Econsultants is the kind of partnership that pays for itself in this crazy, unpredictable market through the cost savings and benefits they help us to realize.
We use econsultants for our NGBS and Energy Star certifications, as well as some Energy Cosumption and utility analysis modeling. It’s great to have all of the services under one roof, and we definitely prefer their turnkey approach to all of the different certification and incentive programs. Other consultants we have worked with would subcontract our their field inspections, testing, etc but not econsultants, you deal with the same team from start to finish in all different aspects of the programs, from design review to blower door and duct leakage testing
