Why Build Green?
As energy prices continue to rise, and educated through first hand experiences, news, and other media, the American public have become aware of how their lifestyles affect the environment. Two-thirds of all homeowners are aware of green building, and construction businesses building green homes have seen less market decline than the rest of the construction business. As a homeowner, building green is a great way to protect the health of your family, save energy and maintenance costs, and also feel comfort in the knowledge that you are doing your part to protect the environment. As a builder, building green is a fantastic way to improve the product you offer your customers, and also differentiate yourself from your competition.

Green homes benefits: Satisfaction with green homes is extremely high: over 85% of green home owners are likely to recommend a green home to others. The total green building marketplace is expected to be worth up to $60 Billion by 2010 (one in ten new building starts), and in a struggling housing market, green features differentiate your home in the marketplace.
