Building a Green house is challenging and may well burn a hole in your pocket. A green house typically costs 0.5 % to 6.5% higher than a standard dwelling. Thus, from a pure pragmatic point of view, it perhaps feels foolish to incur additional costs. Such a view is misleading, as most people do not take into account the likely potential of building a Green house. Governments across the world are progressively becoming more and more sensitive to environmental issues. The Green Movement is slowly but surely transforming from informal pressure groups into positive governmental action by inclusion of legislations in many parts of the world. In the United States, many states have commenced offering tax benefits for those who build green.
Building a Green house is fast gaining acceptance with the market value is gradually appreciating. A contributory factor has been the rising oil prices which are shortly predicted to reach $150 and then $200 resulting in an exponential rise in operating costs worldwide. The first effects of this surge in crude oil price will hit the users of electricity generated by Naptha fired plants. The air conditioning bills which till now seemed within limits would cross far over to the danger mark. The knock on effect on every segment of the construction business will only increase the costs. With such a scenario of the future, building a green house would seem to be a wise decision. The reasons are very clear for all to witness. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory predicts that 40 percent of a buildings utility bill for heating, cooling and ventilation can be reduced by incorporating green features in the design stage. Such a prediction will make building green houses an attractive proposition in the future. It can also be extrapolated that the additional green features will add substantially to the value of the real estate. Future scarcity of land for housing is making the builders include green features in their ongoing projects. Thus common swimming pools, common rainwater harvesting plants, and common gardens, all green features are becoming a norm.
A day will dawn when customers and homebuyers will insist on buying a house with all green features incorporated. This may be forced upon the customers to avoid being penalized by stricter government environmental laws. At present the effect of Euro IV on the automobile industry is a clear example. The same analogy may well become a reality 20 years from now for building houses. Building a Green house is therefore a prudent decision. Try this Green home store | Blogs | Green home décor |
