Constructing Green houses is not easy, and certainly not low priced. It has been estimated that on an average, a green house will cost within a range of 0.5% to 6.5% more than a normal house. Practically speaking, it might does not make sense investing more in a green house. However, the vital point which most people miss is a critical analysis of the future prospects of Green buildings. As ecological concerns acquire a global magnitude, many nations are examining them seriously. This has resulted in catapulting the Green Movement from its informal beginning to an official point in almost every nations legislative agenda. In the United States, many states have commenced offering tax benefits for those who build green.
The green house building phenomena is gaining credibility including a premium in the real estate market. 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 cascading effect of oil price rise will increase the costs of construction in every segment. Under these circumstances, an early investment in building a green house would stand in good stead. The motives for such an action is clear. According to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study, building a green house right from the design stage can save as much as 40 percent of a buildings utility bills for heating, cooling, and ventilation. An assessment such as this makes building a green house a lot more appealing. It can also be extrapolated that the additional green features will add substantially to the value of the real estate. The amount of land available for construction is getting increasingly dear, forcing developers to squeeze in more features in the available plots. Thus common swimming pools, common rainwater harvesting plants, and common gardens, all green features are becoming a norm.
In the not too distant future, customers will insist on houses with green features. 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. Similar articles Syndicate feeds -- Submit feed -- Rss database -- Information --
