building affordable green starter homes

Nowadays, who wouldn't want to buy a new house that is "green" and that will, over the long haul, save you money on monthly energy bills? But that comes with a price tag, right? So it's that age-old dilemma: do I bite the bullet and pay a little more now, knowing I'll save in the long run? Or do I economize, buy a less expensive home and just do the best I can to conserve energy?

Well this post is about a builder in South Carolina who's building Energy Star-rated homes for around just $1,000 more per house than his previous, conventional building costs. And these are affordable starter homes that won't break the bank. Looks like you may actually be able to have your cake and eat it too.

Build it green without breaking the bank
