Green building
It is clear that until you, the homeowner, decide that you want a "green building," it is not likely to be built. On the other hand, it is also clear that once you do demand it, builders have been able to respond and produce a product that is not much more expensive to build and, in almost every case, is far less expensive to operate and maintain.
What is green building?
Green building is a process that:
Creates comfortable environments that are aesthetically pleasing, have plenty of day-lighting, and are draft-free.
Creates healthy environments.
Creates durable environments that are built to last, provide moisture control, and have forgiving building envelopes.
Creates energy efficient environments that are affordable to operate, use materials to their maximum potential, and minimize or eliminate waste.
