What questions should homebuyers ask related to the green (not the cash)? Here is some advice from The Green Guide:- Has the home been certified green by an independent third party?
- How energy efficient is the home now?
- What is the orientation of the home, north, south, east or west?
- Can you install solar panels?
- Are lead and asbestos lurking in the home (important for homes built before 1978 for lead and 1981 for asbestos)?
- What about radon?
For the advice related to these questions, see The Green Guide here. For a directory of green homes, like the Eagle River Bioshelter in Alaska pictured above, see Listed Green.
