Lower operating costs—green homes are equipped with more efficient heating and cooling systems, lighting and appliances, windows and doors, have better insulation, and use natural day lighting techniques, all which result in lower monthly utility bills. Improved construction methods better protect homes from rain and ground water and reducing upkeep and replacement costs.
Reduce maintenance issues—landscaping uses native or drought-resistant plants and grasses, and decks made of pressure-treated lumber or synthetic materials need no sealing or staining.
Increase home value—homeowners with documented lower monthly utility bills are reporting higher re-sale values.
Improve indoor air quality— effective HVAC equipment, use of formaldehyde-free finishes, and use of products with minimum off-gassing or low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to a more comfortable, healthier indoor environment.
A cleaner environment - we all want clean air, water, and to be healthy. The only way to better the world is to start with ourselves. Do your part to be part of the solution to better world.
