Sustainable construction is the name of the game, and if you know how to play you’re probably a winner. According to a recent study by McGraw Hill Construction, homebuyers see the investment value of green homes and sustainable products have become increasingly marketable. A large number of builders and remodelers reported that 2012 buyers were willing to pay a green premium significantly higher than figures paid in 2008. The trend toward more energy efficient and cost effective, sustainable housing shows no sign of halting, as buyers are becoming increasingly more educated to green building benefits. More support is on the horizon, as governments and communities incorporate green standards into local construction regulations and codes.
