New and Improved or Same Old Thing?

Wednesday, December 2, 2009

Unfortunately there a number of builders claiming they build “green” and are misleading buyers. It is kind of like claiming your product is “new and improved” and the only thing changed on the product is the label. It is true that every home built has some “green” attributes automatically built in to the home by nature of building to the minimum state building codes, but it is misleading to claim they are building a “green” home. What makes a “green” home green? I will attempt to answer that question over the next few days.

In Minnesota less than 1% of homes are built to standards above the state minimum building code.
