Homebuyers are more aware of their environmental footprint than ever before, which is why finding a home that is environmentally friendly is on the top of so many homebuyers’ priorities. However, finding an existing home that is environmentally friendly can be difficult, which is why a custom home is the best way to go.

It’s much easier to simply design a custom home to be as environmentally friendly as possible rather than to find an existing home that is up to your environmental standards. With many existing homes, you’ll end up having to spend a lot of money on renovations if you want to upgrade the house to be more sustainable. With a custom built home, you can plan to use an energy efficient HVAC system, energy smart lighting, Energy Star windows and doors and recycled materials from the beginning – thereby guaranteeing a green home that you can be proud to live in. Another benefit of building a custom green home? The money you’ll save on energy costs over time will be nothing to scoff at.

Reduce your environmental footprint by building a custom home. For more about the benefits of custom homes, take a look at Alair Homes’ infographic.
