Building a Green house is challenging and may well burn a hole in your pocket. A green house typically costs 0.5 % to 6.5% higher than a standard dwelling. Practically speaking, it might does not make sense investing more in a green house. However, the vital point which most people miss is a critical analysis of the future prospects of Green buildings. Governments across the world are progressively becoming more and more sensitive to environmental issues. This has resulted in catapulting the Green Movement from its informal beginning to an official point in almost every nations legislative agenda. One can see that effect in the US where states have already started offering tax rebates to individuals who are opting for green houses.
The green house building phenomena is gaining credibility including a premium in the real estate market. As oil inches to $150 per barrel and is slated to go up to $200 per barrel, operating costs worldwide will go up exponentially. The first effects of this surge in crude oil price will hit the users of electricity generated by Naptha fired plants. Electricity bills for air conditioning will cross the red mark. The cascading effect of oil price rise will increase the costs of construction in every segment. Under these circumstances, an early investment in building a green house would stand in good stead. The motives for such an action is clear. According to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study, building a green house right from the design stage can save as much as 40 percent of a buildings utility bills for heating, cooling, and ventilation. An assessment such as this makes building a green house a lot more appealing. It can also be extrapolated that the additional green features will add substantially to the value of the real estate. Future scarcity of land for housing is making the builders include green features in their ongoing projects. Thus common swimming pools, common rainwater harvesting plants, and common gardens, all green features are becoming a norm.
A day will dawn when customers and homebuyers will insist on buying a house with all green features incorporated. They may do so as government environmental laws may in near future start penalizing those who do not have Green houses. We already see the effect of Euro IV standard on the automobile industry. 20 years ahead, such a happenstance may become true. Building a Green house is therefore a prudent decision.
