EarthCraft House™, created in 1999, is a residential green building program of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association in partnership with Southface.

Many of the homes myEnergyLoan has financed have been EarthCraft House certified. EarthCraft House is the most widely accepted and utilized residential greenbuild program in the Southeastern United States.
