It can be difficult for home buyers to define what green actually means.  One way to shorten the learning curve is to get involved with a green building program, such as Earth Advantage®, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or ENERGY STAR®.  These green building programs offer flexibility that allows participants to choose features that match their personal goals.  The goal is for the cost of purchasing a green home to be comparable to the cost of a conventional home, but with the benefits of monthly energy savings, healthier indoor air qualities, and environmental stewardship.
