Green Building can take you in so many directions it is hard for the average person to know where to start. Our buildings and homes are the largest users of fossil fuels in the world. Fossil fuels are expensive, polluting and non-renewable. Reducing our buildings use of fossil fuels is the greenest and wisest thing we can do.

Dramatically Reducing Energy Use should be the primary goal for everthing that we build. From the energy it takes traveling to and from work to the amount of energy our buildings use. Our reliance on fossil fuels, especially foreign oil, is responsible for much of the problems and suffering in the world today. Fossil fuels are expensive and the costs are rising.

The biggest impacts of green building can come from dramatically reducing energy use which also has the benefit of lowering the amount of money we spend on utility bills.

People say Green building is more expensive. The total, initial cost usually is more, but most of us pay monthly, mortgage payments on that total cost. We also pay monthly, energy bills. 

Mortgage payments + Energy payments = Actual Cost

(There are millions of hidden costs associated with fossil fuel use. Reducing your energy costs, limits these hidden costs.)

Green building can be cheaper, but only if you know where to put your money. Knowing the most effective areas to invest will save you money because the cost of the right energy upgrades added to your mortgage payments is made up through lower, monthly energy bills.
