Green home building is growing at an incredibly fast rate. According to the National Association of Home Builders’ report, Green and Healthier Homes: Engaging Consumers of All Ages in Sustainable Living: nearly one-third of home builders report that they are currently doing more than 60% of their projects green, and over half expect to be doing that level of green work by 2020.

The U.S. Green Building Council claims that “more than half of consumers rank green and energy-efficiency as top requirements for their next homes.” Sound like you? You’re not alone in your search to buy an environmentally-friendly home.
