Nutrition Labels for Homes
Increasing awareness of the environmental and financial benefits of environmentally sustainable homes is spurring the green housing industry’s rapid growth. Despite this mounting interest, or perhaps because of it, green home buying can be much more arduous and daunting than traditional home buying. Buyers entering the market for the first time encounter a barrage of green certification and rating systems. Some are designed to evaluate the sustainability of an entire home while others evaluate just specific elements such as its energy efficiency or the healthfulness of its interiors. The vast array of choices confronting green
homebuyers is confusing at best, frustrating and discouraging at worst.
