Really?
Get out of town.
I mean it. Get out of town if you believe the headline. (June 9, London Free Press)
Yes, London home builders occasionally embrace energy-efficient technologies in home construction.
But, “officially,” they’re a long way from going green.
Why do I say that?
Because Deforest City builders still ignore the greenest option of all - smaller homes.
If we built homes that were 20% smaller than the average, what would happen?
We’d use 20% fewer building materials. That’s energy-efficient, eh.
We’d require less fuel to heat the home.
We’d require less furniture.
We’d likely require fewer electric appliances.
We’d have a smaller mortgage and not use as much energy sweating about our monthly finances.
So, are our builders officially going green?
Not by a long shot.
