Green buildings are buildings which are energy efficient to run, are water efficient minimising the use of water, make use of sustainable construction materials, have a light footprint on the environment, create a healthier home and which minimise waste, both during construction and in the operation of the home.
​
Benefits of green buildings are:
  • The building is often more pleasant to live in because it’s for example cooler in summer and warmer in winter, or it’s more inclusive of the natural surroundings.
  • The building is cheaper to live in since it uses less energy, gas and water.
  • They often incorporate materials which are less harmful to those living in the building.
  • More people are choosing to buy, or live in buildings that incorporate environmentally sustainable products and that leave a smaller environmental footprint. Your house will be more saleable.
Making a building environmentally friendly and more sustainable doesn’t have to cost lots of money. 
Next week I'll discuss how you can make your home more environmentally sustainable. Read  How to make your home green and environmentally friendly and save moneyand More ways to make your home environmentally friendly

I can say you're spot on with people wanting to buy greener houses. Personally as I look to buy my first house I'm looking for efficient and affordable places to setting. Also, as someone who works in home improvement I've had this greener idea in the back of my mind as an <a href="https://www.fencerepairomaha.com">omaha fence repair</a> company. What can I do to have less of an impact? These kinds of questions.
