There’s a good reason why more homebuyers are looking for green homes: saving of almost 30% on water among other utility bills.
But that’s not all – you and your family will benefit from the additional comfort that it offers as well as an improvement in indoor air quality.
With these demands, the National Association of Home Builders has also announced that the inclusion of additional green features as well as technology will become a part of the new homes that are being built.
Some of these green features include: high performance, multi-paned windows with low energy conducting glass along with the option of adding inert gases between the panes of windows as well, engineered trusses, joists and beams, efficient HVAC systems as well as dual-flush toilets and low flow faucets.
In fact, with more and more Energy Star Certified new homes being built, owners in hot and humid climates can save up to to $700 per year. If that doesn’t seem like much, you can be sure that it will add over the years.
Finally, if you do intend to sell your home after living for about 5 years, you can be sure that you will get much more for an energy-saving home compared to older houses that do not have these features.
