Green Las Vegas Homes Are Affordable To Live In But Costly To Build According To Survey

Homeowners are
more interested in selecting a greener home for their family. Greener Las Vegas homes
present a more extensive range of advantages. This would include decreasing
carbon footprints, reducing the costs of monthly bills and even enhancing the wellbeing
of their children. A latest survey was conducted by NHAB Research Center
which concluded that many people believe there’s a big difference between living in a
green home and buying one. The outcome presented 64%, which is the majority of
the respondents, saying that possessing green home features were sometimes
worth the added expenses and hard work. Both renters and homeowners had implied
this finding and were consistent across all income level groups.

It is quite
difficult for most homeowners in the United States. NHAB Research Center
conducted a consumer survey in August 2010 to measure the opinion about green
housing and its affordability.  It was
found that the 67% of high income group, 65% upper middle, 59% middle, 48% low
income respondents believe that a completely green home would be cost-effective
to reside or maintain. But only the high income group, which is the majority of
71%, responded to the survey that purchasing completely green Las Vegas homes
is
affordable.

Having a green home is perfect for all homeowners as it has
extensive health benefits, as well having the chance to save a lot of money on
utility bills. On the other hand, what it needs to encourage builders and
consumers to realize the importance and affordability of green housing is a
collaboration of manufacturers, builders and organizations. Homeowners have the
right to recognize the different options on going green for them to improve
their carbon footprint in the long term while cutting back on monthly costs and
resource in the short term. There is a necessity to fill the awareness of
consumers on the relationship between green-building and affordability.

A builder survey
was conducted last July-August 2010 and was found out that 87% of them believe
that it is cost-effective for middle income families to reside in green homes
while 30% of builders felt that it is too expensive to purchase or build for
the same group level. For low income families, 70% of home builders assume that
green homes are affordable to live in while nearly 60% of them thought that it
is too expensive for low-income families to purchase or build.
