Green is More Than a Trend, It's a Standard in Home Building

With help from the new first-time home buyer tax credit and improving rates on home mortgages, the long downswing in production activity is slowly but surely putting us back on track to a healthy housing market."- Sandy Dunn, former president of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

The road back to a healthy housing market must include green and sustainable design and building techniques. Old ways of building, without concern for the environment and energy consumption will be replaced with careful consideration of each site environment and ways to incorporate renewable energy. Every positive action counts.

From the vantage point of a home builder, any improvement to any portion of the building process helps the environment. An incredible 40% of energy consumption in the United States is attributed to residential buildings, and of that, 32% is consumed in heating and cooling.

Homeowners desiring to make the largest effect for the smallest effort & investment will build a better insulated, energy efficient home with renewable heating and cooling systems, utilizing natural day-lighting and incorporating a renewable energy system such as solar to produce hot water and/or electricity or geothermal system, which uses stable ground or water temperatures near the earth's surface to provide heating, air conditioning, and in most cases, hot water.

Small steps in aggregate will have an enormous impact on our global environment - and give you a comfortable, energy efficient home with a great return on your investment.
