What are the advantages of Green Building?
Green building benefits are widespread. People who live in green homes generally pay less for utilities, which leaves them more money for discretionary spending. They also likely have: expanded mortgage access through energy efficient mortgages; improved indoor air quality; higher resale profitability; the knowledge that a personal effort is being made to minimize negative environmental impact; and protection against future energy cost increases. And their actions provide support for reduced dependency on foreign oil and lowered carbon emissions. Developers of new homes can strengthen their reputations and increase overall sales by including green features in their new homes.
