Times are changing and with the times changing we need to
change to towards a better environmental future.
To understand this topic first of all we need to understand ‘What
is a Green Home’?
Green homes are homes that are built to maximize the
efficiency of energy and water as well as provide a cleaner and healthier air
quality inside the house. The beautiful thing about the word "green"
is that it captures two of the most important things that most people care
about: their health, and their money. And there is a wonderful third reason to
go green: The community benefits in the long run, because it is better for the
planet.
Below we will pen down the benefits of Green Homes over
Traditional Homes:
1.
Lower cost of home ownership
2.

Comfort – Since green homes tend to
have better insulation, they produce less temperature variations between rooms
and minimize drafts.

Incentives – Green homes
qualify for a number of different incentives. Utility rebates, grants, property
tax incentives, low-interest loans and building permit fee waivers to name just
a few.

more and more Green Homes in Toronto in the future making Toronto; the future
