Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Green building in the residential sector has potential to improve the value of the housing market by making homes more affordable and giving industry professionals a competitive edge. Homeowner's may find that building a green home is a worthy investment in today's economic climate of unstable energy prices, home values, and investment opportunities. Home developers and contractors may find that building green homes makes business sense by gaining a competitive edge and market differentiation. The major hindrance of mainstreaming green building can be attributed to the lack of accurate and thorough financial and economic information available. The arguable misconception that green buildings cost more to construct and maintain, coupled with the ambiguity of current data regarding life cycle costing, have turned many developers and contractors away from green building, thus falling back on conventional code compliant means and methods.
