Why Should we Care about Green Building?

Green homes subscribe to whole-house design principles that not only make them more comfortable, but healthier and safer too.

Better insulation, air sealing, indoor air quality and lighting are just a few reasons why this is true.

Consumers enjoy the savings gained from lower utility bills.

Green building at any level, typically requires energy efficiency above code levels and , while programs vary, this is the most heavily weighted factor.

A green home offers greater durability and energy efficiency, which increase both the initial appraised value of the home, and to an even greater extent, the resale value.

Green homes incorporate building materials and construction detailing that strive to increase the useful life of the individual components, as well as the whole house.

Longer lived materials not only reduce impact on resources required for replacement, but also reduce maintenance and repair costs.
