What is a “Green” Home

Posted by Pam Dent on July 24th, 2008

We Hear a lot about "green" homes these days.  With the rising gas and oil prices, and increased awareness of environmental issues, more home buyers are interested in finding a home that is more energy efficient, with a lower ecological impact.

The following is a list of some of the features that builders strive for in a green-built home:

  • energy efficiency resulting in lower utility costs
  • cleaner indoor air
  • low maintenance and long lasting materials
     
  • conservation of water and natural resources
  • environmentally friendly construction
     
  • sustainability
  • higher resale value

There are several green-built homes on the market in the Charlottesville, Virginia area and I would be glad to show them to you.
