The Many Shades of “Green”
With so much information available about green building, it can be difficult to decide which ideas are best. Many consumers still hold onto the mistaken belief that building a “green” or sustainable home has to be costly and time-consuming. The degree of “greenness” in a new home can vary greatly depending on your choices. Small changes can make a big impact, such as changing the type of light bulbs used in fixtures and lamps, lowering energy bills. Taking the level of sustainability much further, advances in technology have made it possible for a home to generate its own energy with geothermal heat pumps.
