National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Remodelers survey, which was recently released, highlights the most common features remodelers are using to go green.
The most popular green features in the first quarter of 2014 were:
- High performance windows
- High-efficiency HVAC systems
- Programmable thermostats
- Energy Star appliances
Popular features also included ceiling fans, water conserving fixtures, and high-performance insulation.
“The improved availability and affordability of high-performing building products means energy-efficient features are being incorporated into more home improvement projects,” says NAHB Remodelers chairman Paul Sullivan. “Remodeling not only improves the overall layout and features of a home, but depending on the upgrades you choose, you can also save money on utilities, improve indoor air quality, and strengthen the long-term value of your home.”
