Green Homes
Homeowners that are looking to go beyond energy-efficiency should ask their builders about a green home.
Green homes use sustainable design and building materials to minimize the energy and environmental impact of the building. Green homes focus on energy and water efficiency, sustainable building design and materials, indoor air quality, and the home's overall impact on the environment.
Building a green home creates a healthier living environment while reducing the impact of construction and development on the natural environment. Green homes help reduce greenhouse gases and other pollutants and encourage healthier lifestyles.
If you already have a builder, NYSERDA can provide you and your builder all the necessary information needed to participate in and access incentives through the Green Residential Building Program.
