People See Green in Sustainability

Home builders are starting to get the point: people want to buy Green. To meet demand, homebuilders have started slowly adopting energy efficient practices into their new homes. What they're finding: simple changes can often help them sell homes and benefit the consumer down the road.

For example, framing duct work within a house rather than an outside crawl space; any heat lost from the ducts warms the home rather than venting uselessly outdoors.

Even with the stagnant housing market I'm curious to see if the next trend is tagging homes green simply to get out of the red.
