You can live in a home that is healthier, more comfortable, less expensive, and lasts longer—basically, a happier home! It’s a choice and a smart way to make a positive difference in the world. “Greening” your home is also a strong selling attribute of homes in the Bay Area.
You don’t have to purchase new “green” construction to take advantage of green home features. You can retrofit your home so that your property is more energy efficient, has better indoor air quality, conserves natural resources (such as fuel), and uses less water. Currently, 40% of the world’s resources go into buildings, and 66% of electricity generated is used for heating, cooling, and lighting buildings.
