THE BOTTOM LINE

Many people believe that building green is too expensive and cost prohibitive. This is a myth. It is true that sometimes there can be slightly higher up front costs. However when you consider the cost of owning a green building extends for decades beyond the initial construction you wind up saving far more money.

Green buildings afford owners and occupants greater comfort, health, and financial savings because of reduced energy and maintenance expenses as well as healthier indoor air quality. Additionally studies show that green buildings typically see higher occupancy rates for tenants and higher productivity rates for businesses with less absenteeism among workers. For investors and sellers of green buildings all of these premiums can be passed along to the consumer. Finally, building green is better for the environment and is good P.R. for everyone.

Build Green — Live Green — Save Green

"I have always been committed to helping the environment, even before I became a REALTOR and EcoBroker Certified. I believe it is critical that anyone making claims of being Green walk their talk. That's why I volunteer, donate a portion of my profits to non-profit organizations both locally and nationally, and observe sustainable business practices in my office."
