Green Home Benefits
Benefits of a green home include:
BETTER PERFORMANCE: Better protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pests, pollution and noise. Consistent temperatures between rooms, improved indoor air quality and greater durability.
LOWER OWNERSHIP COST: Substantially less energy is required for heating, cooling and water heating. Significant additional savings can be realized on repairs and maintenance. State, federal and regional tax credits may be available for green certified homes. Many utility companies offer discounts for building green.
SMARTER INVESTMENT: Confidence that a green home will meet future, increasingly stringent efficiency and environmental standards and will maintain higher resale value and marketability.
ADDED CONFIDENCE: Peace of mind in knowing that the home is truly energy efficient and meets the rigorous energy efficiency guidelines set by EPA and verified by an independent third party inspector.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: By using less energy green homes help prevent greenhouse gas emissions. Greater energy efficiency helps make the most of our energy resources, mitigates the impact of high- energy prices, decreases the need for new power plants, lowers our reliance on energy imports and reduces the emission of greenhouse gases and air pollutants at the source.
