Working with a Salt Lake City

Working with a Salt Lake City general contractor we were able to get a lot of geen elements put in when building our home, geothermal for example which wasn't much more then what it would cost for a normal HVAC system. I would pay between 10-20% more for a green home I think the total savings would cover the costs. If you look around and find good companies with affordable prices it shouldn't be that much more.

Most Important Energy-Efficient Features to invest in!!!

McGraw-Hill Green Home Builder Survey 2008 reflects the following as most important from a builders opinion:

High-efficiency HVAC equipment 62%
Windows used: Low-E glass 63%
Reduce air infiltration 54%
Increase energy-efficient appliances 43%
Above code energy program (e.g. Energy Star certification) 43%

i would say...

...i think 20% more is affordable and reasonable to pay for green energy. property mortgages
