The best approach to green building is the Whole-House Approach. Simply stated, this approach looks at every system that goes into a house and how it relates to every other system in the house to achieve a comfortable, safer, efficient and more substainable home*
The reasons to build green are numerous and differ from household to household. Whatever your reason for wanting to build green here are some advantages that make sense to all of us*.
INCREASED COMFORT - Achieve better indoor air quality, better lighting, better insulation and sealing of house envelope. All these things and more come to gather to add a level of comfort you may not be used to.
LOWER UTILITY BILLS - Because of the mandatory requirements for energy efficiency, the home built green will have better insulation practices, better sealing of the house envelope, more efficient mechainic systems as well as other energy saving features. The end result is residual savings on your utilities.
MORTGAGE SAVINGS - There may be preferential mortgage rates available from Fannie Mae's Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEM). To find out more visit www.fanniemae.com.
INCREASED HOME VALUE - As more and more people, lenders, and appraisers become more aware of green building the more demand and value the market will bring resulting in better resale value.
REDUCED MAINTENANCE - Green building incorporates build methods that extend the life of building materials. No rot exteriors, reusable durable products reduce the ongoing cost of maintaining your new green home.
PERSONAL SATISFACTION - Your did the right thing. Green building is good for the enviroment, people, and the future.
