Enhance your Home’s Appeal to the Green Market

Did you know that environmentally-friendly updates can make your home appealing to a growing ‘green’ segment? Start with easy low-cost changes that target energy savings, water conservation and quality, and clean air. Cut energy consumption with motion-sensor switches that turn lights on and off when people come and go. Reduce water usage with low-flow bathroom faucets and showerheads, and dual-flush toilets. Improve water quality with a filtration unit to stop the need for bottled water while enhancing water quality and taste. To improve air quality, use paints with low or no volatile organic compounds.
