What information do I need to complete the Built to Save® builder registration form?

Your company's contact information, EIN, and a reasonably high-resolution logo file. The form does not save partial entries, so complete it in one session.

Do Built to Save® builders need to register every year?

Yes. Membership renews annually. Renewing members log in to the member portal instead of resubmitting the registration form.

What happens if a builder does not certify a home during their Built to Save® membership year?

The builder keeps membership status but loses the right to use the Built to Save® trademark in marketing and Guide placement until at least one home is certified.

Can suppliers or home energy raters register as builders on this page?

No. This registration form is for builders only. Suppliers register through the Built to Save® Supplier Member Registration page, and RESNET-certified raters are added through the Find a Rater page.

BUILDER MEMBERSHIP IN THE BUILT TO SAVE PROGRAM

Q: How is Built to Save® builder registration different from certification?

Registration makes a builder's company an active Built to Save® member with access to program marketing and rebates. Certification is the separate, per-home process where a RESNET-certified rater verifies a specific house meets the HERS 63-or-below standard.

New builders register for Built to Save® membership by completing the form on this page — there’s no separate application review beyond standard document verification. Renewing members skip the form and log in directly through the member portal instead.

Benefits as a member of the BUILT TO SAVE® program

A public listing. Your company appears as a member on the Built to Save® website for your membership year.
Trademark use. You can use the Built to Save® trademark in your print, online, and electronic marketing while your membership is active.
Guide placement once you certify. After you request certification on a home, your company name is added to the two-page ad in the RGV New Homes Guide that promotes active members; your logo follows once certification requirements are complete.
One certification keeps it active. You need to certify at least one home in the program during your membership year to keep using the logo and Guide placement.

See For Builders for the full certification process and current rebate/tax-credit information.
