What Does Green Mean?
A green home incorporates environmental considerations and resource efficiency conservation, the use of sustainable or recycled products, and measures to protect indoor air quality.

What goes into a green home?
Energy-Efficient
Appliances, windows, and water heating systems will all likely have ENERGY STAR ratings. Lighting fixtures and bulbs should be of the energy efficient type.

Water-Efficient
Fixtures and appliances such as low-flow showerheads, faucets, and toilets, and ENERGY STAR dishwashers and washing machines all conserve water. Programmed, and low-volume irrigation systems all save water.

Indoor Air Quality
The heating, air conditioning and ventilation system (HVAC) must be appropriately sized for an efficient and properly ventilated home. Fans in the kitchen and bathrooms should cycle fresh air inside, and release stale air.

Benefits for Homeowners
Lower Operating Costs
Energy-efficient appliances, lighting systems, and HVAC equipment result in lower energy consumption compared to other models. Using less water through water-conserving faucets, showers, toilets, and irrigation systems may also result in less water consumption. Properly sized HVAC systems mean that less energy is needed to condition spaces.
