How do I get started?
1. When you’re ready to begin your sustainability journey, register for an account here. This will create your own personal EcoHome LO profile for you to submit your certification checklist and track your progress.
2. Click on “Account” at the top right of the page to verify that your information is accurate so you can receive email updates from the program.
3. Read more about the EcoHome LO program on the About page. There, you can review a PDF copy of the certification checklist to get a sense of where you stand today.
4. When you are ready to start filling out your certification checklist, head over to “My Checklist”, linked at the top right. Use the buttons to the left of each numbered item in the checklist to mark actions you want to accomplish (gray), actions in progress that you are working on (yellow), and actions you have completed (green). Your progress will be saved as you go, so you can continue to work on and update your checklist over time. Next time you log in, just head to your “My Checklist” page to pick up where you left off.
If you don’t initially qualify for your desired certification level, don’t worry! Scan the checklist for actions that you’re interested in accomplishing and make a plan to complete them. Visit the Resources page for additional information about each checklist item and tips for taking action.
5. When you are ready to apply for certification, hit the “Submit” button. Our team will review your checklist and follow up by email with any questions. Upon approval, you’ll achieve certification status and receive a free lawn/window sign to celebrate your progress!
Please note: parts of your application may be audited upon submission, so be sure to preserve photo or written evidence of the items you complete where possible.
