What are the Benefits of a Green Building Home Remodel?
Home improvement shouldn’t be about aesthetics alone. With skillful planning, you can combine beauty and functionality to design a home that works better for you and the environment.
Here’s why you should consider a green home remodel:
Eco-Friendly
We practice material efficiency by using sustainable, recyclable products that require fewer resources, like energy and water. Our environmentally responsible products help us minimize waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. By going green, you’re reducing your carbon footprint, helping protect forests and wildlife, and improving water and air quality.
Health-Focused
Indoor air can be 2-5 times more toxic than outside air, and is often linked to health issues, including allergies, asthma, heart problems, and lung cancer. The EPA ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental dangers. Green home remodels emphasize natural light and fresh air, while using good ventilation techniques and low-toxic materials.
Cost-Effective
Going green may cost more up front, but it saves you money in the long run. According to the US Department of Energy, the average family spends $2,200 per year on energy bills. Energy efficient upgrades can reduce that cost by 30%. Green building materials also cost less to maintain, and last longer than their non-sustainable counterparts.
Valuable
Homebuyers are increasingly drawn to environmentally friendly designs and materials. The National Association of Home Builders states 89% of buyers desire Energy Star-rated windows, while 81% desire an Energy Star rating for the entire home. According to Seattle.gov, 96% of homebuyers are willing to pay more for a home with green features, and 80% of homebuyers claim new homes aren’t meeting their environmental expectations.
