If you think “green” is a trend, think again. Improving efficiency and cutting costs is vital to our future. Many industries are moving toward eco-friendly practices, and real estate is one of them. Discerning home builders and buyers want green solutions built into their homes, such as solar photovoltaic panels to cut costly electricity. The facts that support going green are impressive:
- NAHB and McGraw-Hill predict residential green building will double to $40-$70 Billion by 2012. This will account for 12-20% of the entire market.
- The green building products market is projected to be worth $30-$40 billion annually by 2010 (Green Building Alliance 2006).
- Between 40% and 50% of the homes built in 2010 are expected to be green (NAHB, March 2007).
- NAHB reports approximately 115,000 homes were certified and inspected to local green building codes in 2008. This was an 18.6% increase from 97,000 homes in May 2007 (Residential Design & Build, October 2008).
- As of April 2009, the NAHB has registered more than 2,700 Certified Green Professionals (EcoHome Magazine, April 2009).
