Summit County is a place that has been bestowed with many gifts and most residents live in Summit County because of this tremendous natural environment. It is our responsibility to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to enjoy these gifts as present generations do. One significant way to preserve our natural and cultural heritage is to design and build efficient and healthy buildings.
The Summit Sustainable Building Program seeks to encourage construction of efficient and healthy buildings by considering the entire life cycle of a building, reducing its overall resource consumption, eliminating or reducing use of toxic materials, and significantly reducing the operating costs of buildings.
The Sustainable Building Program addresses all residential construction and additions. The program is a points-based system in three sections: Mandatory Measures; Secondary Measures, which includes Intensive Energy Measures; and the Sustainable Building Menu. The checklist listed below will automatically calculate points needed and/or achieved.
CHECKLIST: (**Please note: this checklist is a tool to make point calculations easier for the user; it is not mandatory for compliance and may not be appropriate for all users; every effort has been has been made to ensure the accuracy of the checklist and point calculations within, but no guarantees are made by the authors of the checklist or the High Country Conservation Center)
