HOW DO HOMEOWNERS BENEFIT FROM GREEN BUILDINGS?

Green building is more than just reducing a home’s environmental footprint.  The benefits Homeowners can realize are enormous just by owning a green home. Comfort and Cost are two great reasons buyers are interested in Green Homes.

Here are some of the primary benefits that owners of green homes have experienced compared with owners of conventional homes:

• Lower operating costs—Homeowners have less expensive utility bills due to energy and water efficiency.

• Comfort—Green homes have constant temperatures throughout the home, less or fewer drafts and better humidity control.

• Improved environmental quality—green homes pay extra attention to construction details that control moisture, choose materials that contain fewer chemicals, and design air exchange/filtration systems that can contribute to a healthier indoor environment.

• Durability and little maintenance—Longer lasting materials not only require fewer resources for replacement but also reduce maintenance and repair costs. Green homes have lawn’s that require less weeding and watering, building elements that require less maintenance, and more durable building components that reduce the time needed for upkeep.
