A common misconception is that building green is more expensive than traditional methods. "Going green" can actually save you money. Selecting longer-lasting building products will reduce maintenance expenses. Purchasing energy efficient appliances and implemeneting energy saving measures in your new home or remodel project will lower your energy bills. Some mortgage brokers are aware of this, offer you better credit terms based on your reduced costs of ownership.
There are also many statewide and federal programs that offer tax incentives to reduce your energy consumption.
