Building a green home benefits the homeowner and the environment. Green homes use less energy, water, and natural resources, are generally more comfortable, and are healthier places to live. Emphasis is placed on energy performance in balance with natural lighting, views, indoor air quality, and a complementing aesthetic. Green homes can also follow a formal certification process to clearly establish green goals and objectives and verify achievement.
