What Types of Homes Can Be Certified with Pearl?
Only single-family homes, duplexes, and townhomes can be Pearl Certified. Condominiums and large multi-unit buildings cannot be certified.
How Many Homes Have Been Certified with Pearl?
At the time of publishing, nearly 32,000 homes have been Pearl Certified, and almost 54,000 homes have been Pearl Scored.
Where Is Pearl Certification Most Adopted?
Homes have achieved Pearl Certification in almost every state in the US, with the most concentration near Phoenix, Arizona, the Northern Virginia region, and around Atlanta, Georgia. Are you looking for a Pearl Certified home near you? Take a look at this interactive map provided by Pearl.
What Are the Levels of Pearl Certification?
You will be able to achieve one of four levels of Pearl Certification: Pearl Platinum, Pearl Gold, Pearl Silver, or Pearl Certified Assets. Like most certification programs, the Pearl Certification is based on a point system. What is unique about Pearl, however, is that the point system adjusts based on location. For instance, a building shell's components are worth more in an extreme climate like that in Maine that relies more on heating and cooling than a building shell's elements in a milder climate like North Carolina.
