Who is responsible for recruitment, registration, oversight of Green Raters, certification of LEED for Homes, and quality assurance?

• A. LEED for Homes Providers
• B. USGBC
• C. Green Raters
• D. Owner

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is who runs the day-to-day administration and quality assurance of LEED for Homes across a region. LEED for Homes Providers act as the regional administrators for the program. They recruit and register projects, oversee the Green Raters who perform field verifications, and handle the certification process for LEED for Homes along with the quality assurance checks that ensure documentation and scoring are accurate before a certification is issued.

USGBC sets the LEED for Homes framework and accredits providers, but it’s the providers who manage the on-the-ground operations in each region. Green Raters are the individuals who conduct field verifications, not the administrators of the program. The owner of a project isn’t responsible for program governance or certification administration.
