U.S. sales of green building materials on the rise
We keep hearing that the "green movement," as it pertains to the housing industry, is here to stay. We have witnessed a steady rise in the materials available. We are starting to see certification programs coming together with standardized guidelines. And the topic is alive and well in the mainstream media and the blogosphere.
So, as a builder or a home buyer, you can be sure that in the next several years to come, green building materials are going to be a factor in terms of the cost of the home and the value added by using these energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly materials. Everything from FSC-certified lumber and wood panels, water-efficient plumbing fixtures and fittings, and energy-efficient lighting fixtures are forecast to grow at double-digit rates.
