Did you know that some people prefer to buy energy-efficient homes and that they might even pay more due to their cost effectiveness and efficiency?
Green homes are the future for not only residential, but commercial and all other types of construction, especially as countries around the world are becoming more aware of our environmental impact.
With that in mind, it is always important to check with your home builder on what they offer when it comes to "green" features.
Some builders have much more stringent "green" criteria than others - so do your homework!
