Green building is so much more than saving energy or reducing a home's environmental footprint. Homeowners of a certified Green Home can realize many more benefits as described below.
Lower Maintenance & Replacement And
Reduced Operating Expenses - You will see cost savings due to the longer life associated with the materials and in the products. You will not need to spend as much time in the yard maintaining your landscaping if you purchased a package designed by a professional. The superior efficiency attained with green building means cheaper water and utility bills.Greater Efficiency & Stability - When you invest in the construction of a green home, you will benefit hugely from the increased durability and performance it offers. To ensure that it doesn't waste energy, your home will be inspected by a third party professional to ensure that any mistakes or inefficiencies are corrected during the construction phase. Because your green home will be approved by a certified professional from the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) or LEED (Leader in Energy & Environmental Design), you will find that your home will have a higher value.
Environmental Friendly & Sustainable Measures - Can one family building a Green Home solve global warming or bring a complete halt to diminishing resources? No. Can one family building a Green Home contribute to the solution and be part of a movement that one day may be the new standard? YES! Through the use of sustainable practices, recycled and renewable products, and more energy efficient systems, we can reduce the impact on our environment and precious resources.
Monetary Incentives & Advantages in Resale - Just as the government has done with more efficient vehicles, there are more federal and local tax credits and utility rebates made available to those who opt for a green home. You can find lower rate mortgages and slashed premiums in homeowners insurance when you buy or build a green home. Beyond the upfront bonuses, you will also reap more benefits when you go to sell your green home. You will find that you home has a higher value and an increased desirability to prospective buyers.
More Comfortable & Heightened Safety - Is there anything in this world more important than the safety and health of your family? When you make the investment in purchasing a green home, you will pay more than you do with standard construction. But, how can you place a price tag on ensuring your family has the utmost protection? Green home plans are designed to give you a safe, quiet, controlled, clean and quality home. They include the best detectors on the market and typically come equipped with a state of the art security system.
Healthier Home & Luxurious Green Lifestyle - Your family will experience better health and you will have lower medical bills when you live in a green home. Why? With special attention to improved indoor air quality and the elimination of humidity in your home, mold will not grow and less bacteria will be present in your living space. Until you have owned a green home, you have no clue how the environmentally friendly luxury lifestyle feels!
Now that you have a better handle on the multitude of benefits that come with green home ownership, can you really opt for a standard dwelling that isn't as good for your family and definitely not as good for the environment? You can rest better when you make the right choice- the choice to buy a safe, clean, healthy and earth friendly green home.
