Building a Green house is challenging and may well burn a hole in your pocket. It has been estimated that on an average, a green house will cost within a range of 0.5% to 6.5% more than a normal house. Practically speaking, it might does not make sense investing more in a green house. Such a view is misleading, as most people do not take into account the likely potential of building a Green house. 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. In the United States, many states have commenced offering tax benefits for those who build green.
Building a Green house is fast gaining acceptance with the market value is gradually appreciating. As oil inches to $150 per barrel and is slated to go up to $200 per barrel, operating costs worldwide will go up exponentially. Companies operating Naptha fired electricity plants will hike up their rates to unbearable limits. Electricity bills for air conditioning will cross the red mark. The knock on effect on every segment of the construction business will only increase the costs. With such a scenario of the future, building a green house would seem to be a wise decision. The motives for such an action is clear. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory predicts that 40 percent of a buildings utility bill for heating, cooling and ventilation can be reduced by incorporating green features in the design stage. Such a prediction will make building green houses an attractive proposition in the future. A simple extrapolation would conclude that such green features would enhance the salability and price of the real estate. The amount of land available for construction is getting increasingly dear, forcing developers to squeeze in more features in the available plots. Standard green features such as shared pools, a general rainwater harvesting plant, and common gardens are a de rigueur now a days.
A day will dawn when customers and homebuyers will insist on buying a house with all green features incorporated. This may be forced upon the customers to avoid being penalized by stricter government environmental laws. At present the effect of Euro IV on the automobile industry is a clear example. The same analogy may well become a reality 20 years from now for building houses. Therefore, building a Green House is a safe and a wise proposition.
