Why build energy efficient?
Energy costs represent 30% of a typical commercial building's annual budget and are the single largest operating cost. It’s pretty much a forgone conclusion that energy costs are going to go up in the future.
Compared with standard homes and buildings, ENERGY STAR® homes and buildings use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating--reducing consumption 10-40% and more with net-zero possible. Over 7 to 8 years (the average time most people live in a home) this ads up to over a thousand dollars saved on utility bills. Additional savings on maintenance can also be substantial. Financing your home purchase using an energy efficient mortgage can also lead to savings..
