Green home building and renovations have become a growing trend, with the “green” emphasis on home building design and renovations shifting from timing and pricing to supporting a healthier home for the homeowner and a more natural environment. When you live in the Sarasota area, there are many benefits to “going green”, some in the form of health benefits such as superior air quality in the home, or economic benefits which include significant energy bill savings and tax credits, and because of the increasing availability at affordable prices of green materials to name a few.

Some of the benefits of green home building and renovations include:

- Superior ventilation.

- Appealing natural lighting.

- Superior air quality – no formaldehyde fumes, airborne particles or chemicals in the air.

- Attractive, engaging living spaces.

Using “green” home building products and a “green” home design promotes the conservation of natural resources. Green-friendly building materials are more durable and last longer than their non-green counterparts so they don’t have to be replaced as often, for example using FSC-certified wood, or very low maintenance components such as fiberglass windows or slate shingles.

Green home building encompasses: 

- Using the sun and your home site for natural cooling, optimum lighting, and heating.

- Landscaping with the design emphasis on minimal water usage, such as utilizing plants and trees that require less water.

- Using energy efficient appliances.

- Using “green” technology for optimum insulation and ventilation.

- Utilizing recycled, durable, quality materials.

There is an increasing sensitivity to environmental issues. And with economic incentives in the form of tax credits, rebates, and density bonuses not to mention the significant savings on monthly energy bills, more and more people are building green homes or incorporating green into their home renovation projects.  The trend continues to grow.
