Homeowners Build Smaller Houses as They Commit to Energy Efficiency

Today’s consumers are looking for different things in their homes than the buyers of the building boom. Everyone is trying to stretch their dollars in every area and home efficiency is one place people are looking at.

The recent surge in fuel costs last year has many concerned about the costs of heating and cooling their home. Homeowners are living in their homes much longer and are judging a home’s efficiency not only in terms of how comfortably it lives today but also in its ability to save money and energy tomorrow.

Energy- conserving and environmentally friendly features such as energy efficient appliances, programmable thermostats, well-insulated homes with energy-efficient doors and windows, compact fluorescent lights, comfortable improved air quality and family friendly paints that emit less toxic fumes are all important features for your new home.
