What is the second step to participate in LEED for Homes?

• A. Build the home
• B. Identify a project team
• C. Join the program by contacting a LEED for Homes Provider
• D. Market and sell the LEED home

Answer: (B)

The second step is to identify the project team. After you start the process by contacting a LEED for Homes Provider to enroll, you bring together the people who will drive the project—owners, designers, builders, and any LEED professionals involved. This team is essential because LEED for Homes credits require coordinated actions across design, construction, materials, and performance. Establishing roles and responsibilities early ensures everyone knows who handles documentation, inspections, and credit decisions, and it sets the project up for successful certification. Building the home comes later, and marketing or selling occurs after certification, so forming the team early is the right move to begin aligning on goals and credits.
