Nutrition Labels For Homes

Michelle Kaufmann writes:

“Green homes are in demand. Buying a green home, however, can be a mystifying, exasperating process. With all the various green home labels and certifi cations available, buyers want for a way to compare the sustainability of one for-sale home to another. Applying a universal sustainability label to homes, just as we apply nutrition labels to food, would answer this need and further encourage the growth of the green housing market by illuminating the environmental, heath, and long-term financial benefits of sustainably designed and built houses.”
