"If you are considering building or buying a new home, you may want to add a few more items to your wish list: healthy, energy-efficient, environmentally- friendly, low maintenance, and easy to heat & cool" says Steve Reddy. The green movement in the United States for new homes has skyrocketed and builders are realizing, that new products add value to the long-term expense of owning a home.

More is Less

Sometimes prospective homeowners look at items that go into green construction and find it hard to justify the increased cost. In reality, the extra up front cost will actually cost them less in a long run, due to their long-term savings. What good is it if you can buy a home for $10,000 to $20,000 less initially, but find out later that you are spending 30 to 50% more each month for utilities? The $10,000 less, may actually cost you $25,000 more!

Building Green

One builder from Hopkinton, NH, Steve Reddy of Zetland Home LLC has just finished the third green home in the state that qualifies for the US Green Building Council "LEED" program. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the nationally accepted benchmark for high performance in eco-smart practices. With the new LEED certification program, builders now have an arsenal of practical tools and incentives to incorporate green features into their projects. Like many certification programs, building green involves extensive checklists that builders must adhere to. Some of the categories include site and water protection, design, energy efficiency, air quality, water savings, materials efficiency, materials selection, programmable thermostats, solar design, no carpet, and the list goes on.
