Benefit: Comfort

Rather than focusing on a single component of the house, such as single-pane windows, an old air conditioning system, or leaky ductwork, a Green Home contractor will assess how improvements to all of these components can work together to provide:

• A safer, more comfortable, quieter home
• Even heating and cooling across rooms
• Enhanced indoor air quality
• Increased resale value and reduced maintenance costs
• A much-reduced “carbon footprint” to help the planet
• Lower utility bills

The Green Home Energy Update isn’t about just energy efficiency or temperature control—it’s about the total quality of your home’s indoor comfort and a safer, more durable, and earth-friendly building. These types of improvements can also significantly improve the quality of indoor conditions in your home, especially for those with allergies or asthma.
