Constructing Green houses is not easy, and certainly not low priced. It has been estimated that on an average, a green house will cost within a range of 0.5% to 6.5% more than a normal house. Thus, from a pure pragmatic point of view, it perhaps feels foolish to incur additional costs. 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. The Green Movement is slowly but surely transforming from informal pressure groups into positive governmental action by inclusion of legislations in many parts of the world. In the United States, many states have commenced offering tax benefits for those who build green.
Building a Green house is fast gaining acceptance with the market value is gradually appreciating. 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. Companies operating Naptha fired electricity plants will hike up their rates to unbearable limits. 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. Under these circumstances, an early investment in building a green house would stand in good stead. The motives for such an action is clear. 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. At present the effect of Euro IV on the automobile industry is a clear example. 20 years ahead, such a happenstance may become true. Building a Green house is therefore a prudent decision.
