We’ve come a long way from this….


To this …


but…

If everyone lived like Canadians,

we'd need two more Earths

to provide all the resources and energy we’d need.


Is our whole world being contaminated?

It’s all about sustainability,

The Universe took 13 billion years

to create the miracle that is you


There are 100,000 trillion trillion atoms in your body

…and they are all co-operating

to create

YOU


There are 100 trillion cells in your body

… all co-operating to create YOU


There are 100 billion neurons in your brain… all cooperating

to enable YOU to function


We need…

A Green Economy

Harmony with Nature

True Sustainability

3: District Heating


Pre-insulated piping used to heat most homes and commercial buildings in Scandinavia.

Insulation allows the delivery of hot water at 200o C to customers up to 15 miles away, with a net loss of only a few degrees.

Certified green homes made up 33% of the new home market,

sold for a 9% premium per sq ft and were on the market for 24% less time.

From November 2009 through January 2010, King County non-certified homes continued to decrease in value as certified home values increased.

In July 2009, two years of steady growth in market share of green homes culminated in over 49% of new homes being sold that month with a certification.

Over 50%, and appraisers will be required to discount any home that is not green, as that will have become the new market norm.

Green Homes Outselling the Market


“Remarkably, green homes carried a $92,175 price premium, were 12.3% smaller and continued to sell in less time than a non-certified home.

In Seattle, third-party verified homes, which are often a “deeper green” home, sold for 23.5% more per square foot in 10% less time, and make up 6% of the market.”



At the point of sale, the transfer of information to buyers can be challenging.

A 2009 report by Sterling Hamilton, who studied green home marketing in Puget Sound, notes that there was a 14% difference in sales price between green properties actively marketed green by real estate agents versus green homes not actively marketed as green by real estate agents.

As agents learn to market e-certified homes, premiums will continue to grow, home buyers will continue to learn of the benefits of green building and the cycle will continue.



Certified Green Home Programs

2008: 17% of all home permits issued qualified under the ENERGY STAR program (up from 12% in 2007).

ENERGY STAR: 1,000,000 homes

LEED for Homes (2007): 4,000 certified units + 19,200 registered units

NAHB’s Green Building Program (2009): 800 green homes.
