Green Building = Cost More
bull Are green buildings more expensive to construct and operate
bull Perhaps surprisingly good green buildings often cost only a few percentage points or no more to build than conventional designs Integrated design processes that identify the most efficient holistic approaches to building green can reduce these initial costs For example in some cases when buildings are carefully designed to be energy efficient heatingventilationair conditioning (HVAC) equipment can be downsized for significant savings There are also many green products and materials that cost the same or even less than conventional ones

National Assn of Homebuildersrsquo Trend Report
bull ldquoThe survey from NAHB ldquoWhat Home Buyers Really Wantrdquo unveils top concerns and priorities among homebuyers today one of which is the desire to have energy-efficient homes This is partly due to the fact these homes have permanently lower utility billsrdquo
bull ldquoHome-automation technology can help by providing homebuyers with controls to better monitor and manage energy consumption These days homebuilders are more often including technology in homes to meet the desires of homebuyersrdquo
bull ldquoOne of the top five is the desire to have wireless home security systems and whole-house electronics features offering entertainment ease and enjoymentrdquo
bull ldquoAs more homebuyers want green features in homes home-automation technology will inevitably find its way into more residences as a way to provide owners with controls to manage energy consumption throughout the homerdquo

Green Building = Cost More
bull Are green buildings more expensive to construct and operate
bull Perhaps surprisingly good green buildings often cost only a few percentage points or no more to build than conventional designs Integrated design processes that identify the most efficient holistic approaches to building green can reduce these initial costs For example in some cases when buildings are carefully designed to be energy efficient heatingventilationair conditioning (HVAC) equipment can be downsized for significant savings There are also many green products and materials that cost the same or even less than conventional ones

National Assn of Homebuildersrsquo Trend Report
bull ldquoThe survey from NAHB ldquoWhat Home Buyers Really Wantrdquo unveils top concerns and priorities among homebuyers today one of which is the desire to have energy-efficient homes This is partly due to the fact these homes have permanently lower utility billsrdquo
bull ldquoHome-automation technology can help by providing homebuyers with controls to better monitor and manage energy consumption These days homebuilders are more often including technology in homes to meet the desires of homebuyersrdquo
bull ldquoOne of the top five is the desire to have wireless home security systems and whole-house electronics features offering entertainment ease and enjoymentrdquo
bull ldquoAs more homebuyers want green features in homes home-automation technology will inevitably find its way into more residences as a way to provide owners with controls to manage energy consumption throughout the homerdquo

Green Building = Cost More
bull Are green buildings more expensive to construct and operate
bull Perhaps surprisingly good green buildings often cost only a few percentage points or no more to build than conventional designs Integrated design processes that identify the most efficient holistic approaches to building green can reduce these initial costs For example in some cases when buildings are carefully designed to be energy efficient heatingventilationair conditioning (HVAC) equipment can be downsized for significant savings There are also many green products and materials that cost the same or even less than conventional ones

Green Building = Cost More
bull Are green buildings more expensive to construct and operate
bull Perhaps surprisingly good green buildings often cost only a few percentage points or no more to build than conventional designs Integrated design processes that identify the most efficient holistic approaches to building green can reduce these initial costs For example in some cases when buildings are carefully designed to be energy efficient heatingventilationair conditioning (HVAC) equipment can be downsized for significant savings There are also many green products and materials that cost the same or even less than conventional ones

Green Building = Cost More
bull Are green buildings more expensive to construct and operate
bull Perhaps surprisingly good green buildings often cost only a few percentage points or no more to build than conventional designs Integrated design processes that identify the most efficient holistic approaches to building green can reduce these initial costs For example in some cases when buildings are carefully designed to be energy efficient heatingventilationair conditioning (HVAC) equipment can be downsized for significant savings There are also many green products and materials that cost the same or even less than conventional ones

Green Building = Cost More
bull Are green buildings more expensive to construct and operate
bull Perhaps surprisingly good green buildings often cost only a few percentage points or no more to build than conventional designs Integrated design processes that identify the most efficient holistic approaches to building green can reduce these initial costs For example in some cases when buildings are carefully designed to be energy efficient heatingventilationair conditioning (HVAC) equipment can be downsized for significant savings There are also many green products and materials that cost the same or even less than conventional ones

Green Building = Cost More
bull Are green buildings more expensive to construct and operate
bull Perhaps surprisingly good green buildings often cost only a few percentage points or no more to build than conventional designs Integrated design processes that identify the most efficient holistic approaches to building green can reduce these initial costs For example in some cases when buildings are carefully designed to be energy efficient heatingventilationair conditioning (HVAC) equipment can be downsized for significant savings There are also many green products and materials that cost the same or even less than conventional ones

Green Building = Cost More
bull Are green buildings more expensive to construct and operate
bull Perhaps surprisingly good green buildings often cost only a few percentage points or no more to build than conventional designs Integrated design processes that identify the most efficient holistic approaches to building green can reduce these initial costs For example in some cases when buildings are carefully designed to be energy efficient heatingventilationair conditioning (HVAC) equipment can be downsized for significant savings There are also many green products and materials that cost the same or even less than conventional ones
