Save Money And The Planet With Florida Green Homes

By Della Monroe


These days the skyrocketing cost of utilities can cause the immediate future to appear grim for individuals, families, and even corporations who are struggling to make ends meet. The basic requirements of poverty for a family or individual to get any assistance are becoming more narrow. For this reason alone, new homeowners are taken through a presentation by the corporation Florida Green Homes.

Utilizing cleaner methods of powering a dwelling shows the residents of the Sunshine State that they really can pay less for more. This is especially important in a state that pretty much requires air conditioning to run all the time, especially for the very young and the very old. There are more retirement areas in this state than any other, and they are required to provide this service regardless of price. An air conditioner is a massive power hog and jacks up bills tremendously for any household.

For some people, purchasing a micro-home is the best solution for living in paradise on a budget. However, families cannot very easily condense a household with two or three children into one of these micro-homes, no matter how cute they are. Families need space to grow, but they also need the builder of their spacious home to adhere to the standards of the FGBC so that their home can run up to 35% more efficiently.

The Florida Green Building Coalition is the primary entity providing certifications of standards and materials in the Florida building industry. Now that people know about these more-efficient homes, living in one has become very trendy. It helps that most of these eco-friendly dwellings are located in the fancier suburban parts of town.

Multi-family dwellings are also being built with this technology, which is showing a monumental savings to young people. Apartments are generally regarded as more energy-efficient than large homes anyway. You make that apartment building up to the FGBC standards, and the utilities incurred for that dwelling will be nominal.

As public buildings, high-rises, and McDonalds restaurant chain stores start being built up to these environmental standards, scientists are hoping to being seeing a large reduction in the chlorofluorocarbon signature. Employees will appreciate the 30% reduction in their utility bill when that 30% is applied to their bill.

University Park of Boca, located in Palm Beach County, was built by an FGBC builder, and it is one of the most auspicious college buildings in the United States. It boasts a four-story building with 159 units for students to reside in, as well as common areas and study zones. The building was certified by the FGBC prior to students moving in, and they are very proud to be leading the way in such a movement.

Unlike their predecessors, young people truly understand that we are on the brink when it comes to our environment. No other creature soils the nest quite like humans do, and it is time we took some responsibility for the damage being done. It is exciting to see solutions like the ones provided by the FGBC being put into practice.
