Washington Post 4/18/09: "EPA Says Emissions Are Threat To Public"."EPA's action marks a major shift in federal government's approach to global warming." What will it be legislation or regulation?
This is where we start. Where you start makes a big difference in what you find and where you end up... We look for the special value influences, the energy efficient and indoor environmental quality items, because we know what to look for...
We stress service founded on education and experience.
GREEN TIPS:
-
Thinking about repainting the interior of your home? Lighting accounts for 11% of homes and up to or more than 25% of a workplaces energy costs. Check the LRV (light reflective value) of the paint on the walls (its on the back of the paint chip)... (Also the paints VOC)
-
91% of those looking for a new home say energy efficient features are extremely important. Start with a green asssessment of your home - email us.
-
A recent study showed that the value of a home is directly related to energy saving components. As much as $20 of value may be related to every dollar of reduced energy cost.
-
Evidence is mounting, that in areas where the metric is available, third party certified sutainable homes sell faster and for more money.
We take the extra steps to stay on the Green Edge in our appraisals and related real estate services. Let us email you a Green component checklist to get started.
