Building a home can be one of the most important purchases of your life. And when buying a home most everyone takes into account, the price, size, age, amenities nearby, architecture, details, and neighbors. But through the escalation of energy prices, the increased awareness of humans' impact on the environment, and understanding of what makes a quality home, more and more home buyers are paying closer attention to homes' environmental aspects. These new housing categories include:
- Home Location in respect to the Environment
- Environmentally Preferable Materials
- Access to Public Ammenties/ Transport
- Water Efficiency
- Indoor Air Quality
- Energy Performance and Utility Bills
- Durability/ Longevity
- Ease of Home Maintenance/ Home Education
This web page will help educate the builders, developers, and potential home buyers in the greater Washington D.C. Metro Area understand how they can effectively incorporate these environmental elements using the LEED for Home rating system. The rating system can be used for homes of all price ranges and personal interests: custom homes and multi-home development.
