Comments on: Green Certification: Is It Worth It? http://greencomplianceplus.markenglisharchitects.com/discussions/value-green/green-certification-worth/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=green-certification-worth covering green building compliance issues Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:53:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Zack Anawalt http://greencomplianceplus.markenglisharchitects.com/discussions/value-green/green-certification-worth/comment-page-1/#comment-342 Zack Anawalt Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:56:53 +0000 http://greencomplianceplus.markenglisharchitects.com/?p=809#comment-342 Great article Rebecca! You've hit on some great points here. I find that well designed homes sell quickly and at a premium. A looming carbon tax and certainty that energy costs will increase in the future should be reason enough to build a energy efficient home. This should also translate into real long term savings, not to mention the intrinsic benefits of living in a creative and non-toxic environment. A single property case study: I've recently posted the following listing to my website: http://sanfrancisco.tvoa.net/address.php?property_ID=726 This home was designed and built The Margarido Group: http://www.margaridogroup.com/ and has achieved LEED Platinum status. I'll keep the readers posted on what this home trades for and at what rate per square foot over similar properties on the market.

You might try to touch base with someone at Greenkey realty in SF ( i know Jeanine Hunn) they specialize in green real estate locally. You could also talk with Jim Zack of Zack De Vito, he just sold a "green" home at the high end of the market spectrum. Another touch point might be Jeff King who is a green builder and finally, Lorax has done a lot of "green" development. Ross Thanks for the informative work Rebecca.
