A Mc-Graw Hill Construction survey showed that the three strongest motivating factors in purchasing a 'green' home are:
- Operational cost savings
- Environmental concerns
- Occupant health
Similar reasons motivate home-owners to make 'green' choices for home remodeling projects. With cost savings the highest motivator it should come as no surprise that the top three relate to energy saving windows and heating/air conditioning. The current tax credit of up to $1,500 for energy efficient home improvements is a great reason to be making 'green' improvements now. Be sure to check Energy Star for more information, including a list of qualifying products.
