Currently, most green building materials are pretty expensive, at least in the US.
Say that it’d cost around 0,000-0,000 to build a 3,000 square foot completely green house now.
How much would it cost 10 years from now?
What green materials do you think will be mass produced?

How much does it cost to build a ‘green’ house?

Posted in Green Q&A | 4 comments

I want to build an enviromentally friendly house, and was wondering about average prices. I’m looking for 3-4 bedrooms, 2+ baths, and a fair size place. I’m not sure yet what all I will include, I’m still begining my research. What have you done that does work, that doesnt, and how much did it cost? I dont have alot of money, but I live in a place that could really use some green influence. I am even considering proposing an undeveloped area be zoned as a ‘green’ house subdivision before someone snatches it up for yet another shopping center. Thanks in advance!
I live in arkansas, so some really hot weather, and some moderatly cold. I admit I like the creature comforts of this world, but I want to make as little impact as I can while doing it! So darn…is it really that much more expensive? My worry is getting the money for now. I wonder how much I could save by using as much repo as possible…even more friendly to recycle ^_^
Because of my large family, small isnt much of an option.
