Building a Green house is challenging and may well burn a hole in your pocket. A green house typically costs 0.5 % to 6.5% higher than a standard dwelling. Practically speaking, it might does not make sense investing more in a green house. Such a view is misleading, as most people do not take into account the likely potential of building a Green house. Governments across the world are progressively becoming more and more sensitive to environmental issues. This has resulted in catapulting the Green Movement from its informal beginning to an official point in almost every nations legislative agenda. In the United States, many states have commenced offering tax benefits for those who build green.
The green house building phenomena is gaining credibility including a premium in the real estate market. A contributory factor has been the rising oil prices which are shortly predicted to reach $150 and then $200 resulting in an exponential rise in operating costs worldwide. The first effects of this surge in crude oil price will hit the users of electricity generated by Naptha fired plants. The air conditioning bills which till now seemed within limits would cross far over to the danger mark. The cascading effect of oil price rise will increase the costs of construction in every segment. With such a scenario of the future, building a green house would seem to be a wise decision. The reasons are very clear for all to witness. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory predicts that 40 percent of a buildings utility bill for heating, cooling and ventilation can be reduced by incorporating green features in the design stage. An assessment such as this makes building a green house a lot more appealing. It can also be extrapolated that the additional green features will add substantially to the value of the real estate. The amount of land available for construction is getting increasingly dear, forcing developers to squeeze in more features in the available plots. Thus common swimming pools, common rainwater harvesting plants, and common gardens, all green features are becoming a norm.
In the not too distant future, customers will insist on houses with green features. This may be forced upon the customers to avoid being penalized by stricter government environmental laws. We already see the effect of Euro IV standard on the automobile industry. The same analogy may well become a reality 20 years from now for building houses. Therefore, building a Green House is a safe and a wise proposition.
