Dedicated to Change
The Federal Department of Energy estimates that homes consume approximately 21 percent of the energy used in the United States and that homes contribute approximately 17 percent of U.S. emissions of toxic greenhouse gases which has been one of the leading causes of global warming. Americans spend more than $160 billion a year to heat, cool and light their living environments, and, without a sustained commitment to improve the efficiency of home energy use, the national home energy bill is expected to rise to $200 billion by 2015.
American Green Home Builders believes the time for change has come. Our company specializes in helping homeowners reduce their carbon footprint by building high performance, eco-friendly, energy-efficient homes. Our company is comprised of a staff of experts who help design and build customized homes that are healthy, sustainable, and have a gentle impact on the environment.read more
Cost of Building Green
Most people believe that building green will cost much more than the conventional methods of construction. That simply is not true. Simple changes to the way we design and construct our homes can yield dramatic improvements in a home’s performance with no additional impact on the project budget. Also, many state and local governments, as well as utility companies, offer incentives for people to build green. Some incentives cover as much as 50% of the construction cost of added green elements to your home. read more
