Why Buy a Green Home?

Buildings in the U.S. account for:

• 65% of electricity consumption
• 36% of energy use
• 30% of raw materials use
• 30% of greenhouse gas emissions
• 30% of waste output
• 12% of potable water consumption

 
Green buildings, on the otherhand, reduce:

• 30-50% of energy use
• 35% of carbon emissions
• 40% of water use
• 70% of solid waste

The average payback time is 12 to 24 months while the average cost premium is only 1-2%.
 
Green homes can ensure an immediate and measurable impact where it really counts: dramatic energy savings, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, better indoor air quality and lower operating costs.
